EN ONLY OPEN CALL SSAF–AAA Research Grant for Archiving Histories of Art, Ideas, and Visual Culture 2025 Apply by Mon, 15 Sep 2025 Image: Cover of Journal of Arts & Ideas, no. 20–21, March 1991. The Sher-Gil Sundaram Arts Foundation (SSAF) and Asia Art Archive (AAA) in India are pleased to announce the SSAF–AAA Research Grant for Archiving Histories of Art, Ideas, and Visual Culture 2025. This grant, which marks the seventh year of collaboration between SSAF and AAA in India, emerges from AAA’s ongoing efforts to digitise, document, and make publicly accessible recent histories of art in the region by deploying a range of innovative archival practices and research methods. 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. We invite proposals that interrogate how visual and cultural print materials of different kinds—books, journals, magazines, broadsheets, posters, pamphlets, ephemera, etc.—contributed to, constituted, and were embedded in the cultural politics of a historical moment. Preference will be given to proposals that focus on materials in regional languages that are not reachable or are out of circulation, and are not easily available or located in public collections, with an intent to make these materials accessible to the best extent possible, and in meaningful and productive ways. Eligibility: Individuals who are Indian nationals residing in India, or collectives whose members are all Indian nationals residing in India. Duration of Grant: 1 Nov 2025–31 Oct 2026 Grant Amount: Up to INR 3,00,000 For more details on the application and selection criteria, click here. Please submit the completed application form by Monday, 15 September 2025. We encourage applicants to reach out to us at aaai...@aaa.org.hk and ssaf....@gmail.com prior to submitting the application to discuss any questions, clarifications, or concerns. Late submissions will not be considered.
