Pathshala South Asian media institute is a visual art institute. The idea generation and conceptual development are derived from their very own statement about the project where they state that; "The South Asian media institute of photography not only allows students to EXPLORE the world of IMAGE-MAKING but provides them opportunities to question BEYOND the confines of the discipline."

The project highlights the word IMAGE-MAKING and BEYOND to incorporate these terms into the designing of the institution so that public accessibility is allowed into the project and connectivity to the society.
