India Foundation for the Arts invites proposals for the Arts Research Programme, from researchers and practitioners who are interested in undertaking research projects implemented by the Foundation. The Arts Research Programme engages scholars, researchers, and practitioners to research the various histories and expressions of artistic practices in India. It seeks to foster wider perspectives, understandings, interpretations and engagements in the arts.

These projects could investigate relatively unexplored areas; intend to create spaces for dialogue between theory and practice; offer new readings of artistic practices; or use interdisciplinary approaches to break new conceptual ground, among other things.
