Subject: collaboration
Dear Trebor and Geert,
I write to you from the India Foundation for the Arts (IFA), Bangalore,
India, a national, independent, grantmaking organisation in the arts. IFA
makes grants under four programmes, one of which is arts collaboration. As
the programme officer responsible for arts collaboration, I found the
conference of interest to the IFA.
IFA's arts collaboration programme facilities convergences between
disciplines, contexts and points of view in the arts. This programme
supports two or more individuals or groups from any arts field to work on a
project that involves their diverse backgrounds, skills and artistic
languages, and results in shared outcomes. We have made 32 grants under the
arts collaboration programme so far across a range of disciplinary
practices. Please look up the IFA website www.indiaifa.org for more
information on the programme and the Grant Profiles section for details of
the the grants we have made under the programme so far.
Though most of the work we have supported so far do not negotiate the theme
of online collaboration, we have been receiving collaborative proposals that
address technology in interesting ways.
I was wondering if we could begin a dialogue after you have had a look at
the kinds of collaboration IFA has supported.
With warm regards,
Madhuban Mitra
