The Arts and Culture programme of the Trusts
supports institutions making significant
and potentially field-influencing efforts
in different art forms.
In this, the Trusts have attempted to be
sensitive to the potentially unorthodox
nature of institutional practice in the
arts, and has sought to define funding strategy
for different art practices in the areas
of:
|
|
Support for protecting
endangered art forms |
|
|
Support for artistic
livelihoods |
|
|
Seeking strategic
interventions into locations poised
to make substantial impact in their
field. |
Within this sub-thematic, the following four
initiatives are broadly defined:
New
media practices
Researching
Culture Industries
Thrust of thinking art and culture in the
context of livelihood and industrial forms.
Grant support to projects that do interdisciplinary
research of folk and popular culture in
the context of its socio-economics.
Conservation
and Archiving
This focuses on funding support to conservation
and archiving projects. It also focuses
on support to institutions that want to
work towards setting-up best practices of
conservation and archiving, and developing
technologies or formats of effective public
dissemination of the archived material of
historical importance.
Independent
Publishing in India
Under this sub-initiative, the Arts and
Culture programme extends support towards
modernisation and professional development
of distribution initiatives for independent
publishers working in the field of academic
publishing.
