Office of War Information (O.W.I.)

Khajistan is an archive and publishing platform founded in 2021 by filmmaker and archivist Saad Khan. Since its inception, Khajistan has preserved and digitized censored, banned, and underrepresented media from geographies spanning North Africa to South Asia, revealing knowledge systems and narratives excluded from dominant histories. The platform functions as both research infrastructure and curatorial voice, making invisible archives visible and interrogating how power structures shape what is remembered and what is erased. Khajistan's practice centers on excavation, digitization, and recontextualization of suppressed materials, particularly those documenting state violence, surveillance, and propaganda.
