ABOUT ZiiP FOUNDATION
Becoming the Change
We Want to See
The Zalor India International Photography Foundation (ZiiP Foundation or ZiiPf) has taken its genesis from over 4 decades of instrumenting, building, and nurturing relations with the heads of many international institutions. Relations that were forged with the underlying objective to enable the discovery, engagement, and promotion of talent working with the lens medium.
And ‘Zalor’ – a picturesque quaint village in South Goa, India, is where this genesis took place. This simplicity of its roots, carries forth in the straightforward yet definitive vision of ZiiPf.
