motiroti was a London based organisation which used the arts to achieve intercultural innovation. Since the mid-1990s the company made internationally acclaimed and award winning art that transformed relationships between people, communities and spaces. motiroti worked at the forefront of ever-changing global social realities, challenging and teasing perceptions of artists, institutions and audiences alike. Working with a range of collaborators within visual and live art, new technology and socially engaged practice, motiroti made public art with the public itself being central to the making and shaping of the work, using emerging social technologies to incorporate multiple perspectives within artworks. The company fostered the development of a lifelong learning culture, with learning and art production part of the same process, and offered potent opportunities to inspire and develop a dynamic exchange between artists and communities. ==History== Motiroti means 'fat bread' in Urdu, and the company took its name from one of its earliest projects, ''Moti Roti Puttli Chunni'' - a playful examination of gender stereotypes, presented as live Bollywood musical theatre in east London. Co-founded by artists Ali Zaidi and Keith Khan, motiroti was officially registered as a charity in 1996, although the pair had worked together since the late 1980s. Khan left the company in 2004 to become CEO of the Rich Mix Cultural Foundation.〔(Biography of Keith Khan on Live Art Development Agency website ). Thisisliveart.co.uk (13 April 2007). Retrieved on 19 October 2011.〕 Ali Zaidi continued as the sole Artistic Director until 2012, when he left to establish his own independent company, (Ali Zaidi Arts ). motiroti was thereafter led by Executive Director Tim Jones, who joined the company in 2010, and following its closure operates as an independent consultant and workshop designer, advising on the development of enterprise opportunities and digital capacity in the culture sector.
