India Foundation for the Arts (IFA), in collaboration with Asia Art Archive, invites applications for one Archival Fellowship for a period of 8–10 months to support creative practitioners—curators, artists, designers, film-makers, art historians, programmers—to work with the material in AAA’s digital archive, partially accessible online and fully available on site in Delhi and Hong Kong. The intention is to give applicants the opportunity to engage with the archive in innovative and original ways culminating in a tangible outcome such as an exhibition, film, web-design, publication, etc., at the end of 10 months in April 2016.
IFA’s Archival Fellowships have been initiated with the two-fold objective of providing creative practitioners with an opportunity to generate new, critical, and creative approaches to public engagement with archives while energising archives as spaces for dialogue and discourse.
About the Fellowship

• Financial assistance & other support: An honorarium of Rs 200,000 for the duration of 10 months, and a two-week research trip to Hong Kong in 2015. A separate budget will be provided for the final outcome.
• Important dates in 2015:
Deadline for receiving applications is 10 April.
