IFA, in collaboration with Dr Ashok Da Ranade Archives, invites applications for Creative and Scholarly Projects that engage with archival collections and performing traditions. The programme encourages artists, researchers, curators, writers, and practitioners to develop critical, interdisciplinary, and public-facing outcomes from archival materials. Drawing on extensive resources related to music, culture, folklore, and performance, selected projects will explore new approaches to research, interpretation, collaboration, and public engagement while activating archives as spaces for dialogue and discovery.
