If you are already doing research in South Asian textiles, or would like to do so, this might be an interesting opportunity.
The Impart & Nalli Fellowships are offering two Fellowship of one year each to independent research and product development. Projects can be in any textile-centric area but ideas related to the following are encouraged:
- Textiles in religious, literary, liturgical, and mythological contexts
- Environmental impact of textile production and consumption
- Endangered or disappearing textile traditions
- Critical perspectives on textile revivalism, digitisation, archives, and material afterlives
- Labour in textile production, with particular attention to caste, class, and gender
- Relationships between textiles and other cultural forms, including storytelling, poetry, music, architecture, and material culture
- Techniques, technologies, and tools associated with specific textile traditions
- South Asian textiles within the contemporary global design economy
- Intellectual property, ownership, and cultural rights in textile production
- Socio-cultural perspectives on the relationship between handmade and industrial textiles
