Offset Projects is a publishing imprint, library and curatorial initiative. Founded in an ethos that values community building, we work with photography and book-making in South Asia to build spaces of shared inquiry.
“How can we work with the language of photography to help bring ideas and thoughts together…
to converse, research and understand the world we occupy?”
At its core, Offset views the book as a democratic and intimate space, one that resists exclusivity and invites reflection, experimentation, and exchange across borders of geography, discipline, and form.
