Sher-Gil Sundaram Arts Foundation x Asia Art Archive (AAA)

SSAF–AAA Research Grant

Deadline: 31/07/2026

The Sher-Gil Sundaram Arts Foundation (SSAF) and Asia Art Archive (AAA) in India have announced the SSAF–AAA Research Grant for Archiving Histories of Art, Ideas, and Visual Culture 2026. This grant is in line with SSAF’s commitment to work with cross-disciplinary initiatives that address the often difficult and sometimes endangered conditions of informal archiving, the challenges posed by the fugitive political conditions of their assembly and use, and the possible links of such materials with alternative and heterodox practices in the arts and in intellectual work. Applicants are encouraged to suggest new connections between print cultures, intellectual histories, the visual arts, and social, political, and cultural movements; lay new trails for unpacking the archival materials developed under the grant; and explain the objectives and intent of their research.
