Atelier Monad is a space dedicated towards the research, practice and creation of handmade photographs & prints.
WHAT IS MONAD?
From the root word Mono, meaning "One", Monad stands for the thought principle that "everything is connected", and therefore is "One".
In the same essence, Atelier Monad binds different practices and purposes into a single framework, that allows to form a natural collective of artists.
ABOUT
Based in Dehradun, Uttarakhand , Atelier Monad is formulated primarily as a space that facilitates a smooth workflow for artists. Equipped with a darkroom-lab, Monad facilitates personal practices for photographers, and is focussed on historic and traditional practices of photography-printmaking by means of research, practice and outreach programs like residencies, exhibitions and creative assemblies.
The artists’ individual practice & craft is at the heart of everything at Monad and we aim to bridge the gap between creative / technical discussions and actual production of artistic work.
The artist-in-residency program is an important module within our ecosystem that is aimed towards exchange and enrichment of existing faculties, besides emphasising on the relevance of actinic art in a socio-political context.
​
As a collective, Monad also aims to exist beyond the physical space as an online facilitator, to collaborate with the international community of artists and academicians, so as to fulfil the intended purpose of preserving and promoting the fascinating world of analogue and alternative processes.
​
WORK WITH US
We are looking to build a team of creative minds who will not only help us in building our unique brand, but also create with us.
If you are interested in the art of analogue film, darkroom magic or the alternative printmaking processes, then Atelier Monad might have an opening for you. An opportunity to not only work with for our different modules (like F.A.M. and Co-Lab), but also to learn, make art and creatively contribute.
The possibilities are endless and we are excited to hear from you!
