GET INVOLVED
Help Shape Delhi’s First Arts & Health Festival.
DAHF is not being organised by a committee — it is being built through collaboration, partnership and community participation. We believe the best festivals are made by the communities they serve. Whether you are an artist, healthcare professional, researcher, organisation, volunteer, student or supporter, there is a meaningful role for you here.
This is an open invitation. Come as you are. Bring what you know.

HOW TO TAKE PART
Everyone has something to contribute.
DAHF is not a closed institution. It is a living collaboration between artists, clinicians, researchers, educators, community organisers and curious individuals. There is no single way to be involved — only the way that makes sense for you.
Whether you want to volunteer at the festival, bring your artistic practice into a health or community setting, partner as an organisation, commission new work, or simply show up and participate — every contribution shapes what DAHF becomes.
Four pathways. One open invitation.

ARTISTS & FACILITATORS
Bring Your Practice to the Festival.
DAHF is an open platform for artists, facilitators and practitioners working at the intersection of arts and health. We are inviting proposals for workshops, performances, exhibitions, installations, talks, community projects and interdisciplinary practices that explore what creativity can do for human health and wellbeing.
We welcome work that is experimental, rooted in community, research-informed or simply born from a deep belief that art changes how people feel. Every form of artistic practice has a place here — from classical and contemporary performance to participatory making, from large-scale installation to intimate conversation.
- Workshops
- Performances
- Exhibitions
- Installations
- Talks
- Community Projects
- Interdisciplinary Practices
“Art changes how people feel. That is enough of an argument.”
— DAHF Programming Principle
Open to artists at all career stages, from any discipline, working individually or collectively.
AN OPEN INVITATION
DAHF is built through relationships, creativity and collective care.
We are not building a festival for Delhi. We are building it with Delhi. Every artist, clinician, researcher, student, volunteer and supporter who joins us becomes part of what DAHF is — and what it can become. There is room for everyone. Come and help us make something extraordinary.
Delhi · 2026 · Come as you are.
