The Food Matters Grant supports projects that aim to contribute to the discourse around food and create a knowledge network to promote inquiry into food practices in India and South Asia. Through this grant, we hope to create a space for the exchange of ideas around food habits, traditions, and futures.

Seeking to support innovative projects by individuals or collectives, Serendipity Arts invites proposals with tangible outcomes that examine and explore food practices specifically with regard to their contemporary relevance in India and South Asia. Practitioners, researchers, professionals, and enthusiasts from across disciplines are welcome to apply with a new or ongoing project.

Projects based on/around but not limited to the following are welcome:

– Food Heritage

– Food politics
– Food in literature
– Sustainable practices in food
– Storytelling around food
– Food and art
