Started in March, 2017, ‘The Kitab’ is a non-profit initiative, based in India, which is passionate about bringing experimental photography and innovative bookmaking practices to new audiences around the country.
Using an extraordinary archive of more than 400 books, which have been produced in over 70 countries from around the world, it explores the development and role of photobooks/zines as an artistic media, traveling to new locations each time and bringing them to audiences which are wide-ranging and with eclectic tastes.
Through presenting South-Asia’s First Photobook Festival, The Kitab provides a platform to create and celebrate excellence in the field of photography bookmaking practices in the public domain.
