Deadline: 07-Sep-20
The India Foundation for the Arts (IFA) is inviting proposals for artistic explorations, imaginations and interpretations, based on the theme: 25 years of the internet in India.
In these 25 years, the internet has impacted every aspect of our lives – emotional, social, economic, political and cultural. It has helped artistic and cultural spaces to evolve over the years and connected people across languages and borders.
This year marks 25 years of grant making at IFA. It was serendipitous for us to discover that the internet in India is also 25 years old. In an unprecedented year as this one, when due to the pandemic and physical distancing.
Funding Information
- It will support 25 projects with a grant of Rs 25,000/- each.
- The maximum duration of a project: 3 months between October 15, 2020, and January 15, 2021 (with no extension).
Who can apply?
- Individual arts and cultural practitioners working within or across any form of artistic practice including performing arts, visual, new media and digital arts, and literature. A single applicant could represent collaborative work between individual artists or from collectives and organisations. Kindly note that organisations are not eligible to apply.
