The Foundation for Indian Contemporary Art invites applications for FICA Research Fellowship 2014. The FICA Research Fellowship is a curatorial research residency for Indian scholars.

The fellowship is made possible through collaborating with the Department of Visual Cultures and the PhD. Program in Curatorial/Knowledge, Goldsmiths, University of London; Iniva (Institute of International Visual Arts); and The Delfina Foundation, London.

Additionally, they will be given an opportunity to present their conceptual and methodological ideas that were developed during the residency upon their return to India.

The recipient receives: A fully sponsored 10-12 week residency in London (September-December 2014) with access to Goldsmiths’ post-graduate classes and Curatorial/Knowledge seminars, the opportunity to participate in Iniva and Delfina’s programming, personal mentoring, opportunities to meet fellow research scholars, artists and a network of professionals in the field of contemporary art in London.
