Art and collection

Passi has been a member of the Advisory Board of Khoj (the not-for-profit contemporary arts organisation based in Delhi) since 2012, which facilitates and supports the development of experimental contemporary art practice in India and South Asia. She is also a patron of the Kochi-Muziris Biennale.

Passi regularly loans works from her collection to exhibitions and art events, including Kusum by Mrinalini Mukherjee, which was loaned to the Kochi-Muziris Biennale in 2018.[6] In September 2022, Passi organised the MASH Young Artists’ Exhibition: Fleeting Identities[7] [8] which aimed at fostering the search for visual artists with an unfiltered and transparent process of Open Call.

Passi held an exhibition called “The Warp and Weft of Perception”[9] and a solo art exhibition of paintings, “Through my Eyes”, at the Visual Arts Gallery in New Delhi.[10]
