- The role of technology in the lives of artisans and their practices
- Public forums for engagement with arts (festivals, rituals and ceremonies)
- Material innovations and collaborations
Funding Information
- An amount of Rs 200,000 will be awarded as the fellowship grant in installments of Rs 25,000 over the year from the start of the project.
Outcome: As outcome of the project, the fellow will submit 8 to 10 multi-media stories that will be published on PARI.
