City as Studio Call for Proposals
|
City as Studio, Edition 2: The Sarai Programme, in keeping with its history of support to independent thinking and creativity, invites applications from artists and practitioners in diverse media for the second edition of the “City as Studio” project. The “City as Studio” seeks to bring contemporary artistic and cultural practice into the contentious, active space of today’s urbanity. By studio we mean both a space, and a cluster of activities and interactions. The Sarai-CSDS “City as Studio” initiative will create contexts for high intensity inter-disciplinary processes in locations in Delhi and at the Sarai exhibition space at CSDS. The studio process proposes to bring together artists, urbanists, educationists, cultural workers, neighborhood initiatives and diverse audiences to create art works, participatory performances, media works, salons, transmissions of different kinds of signals and imaginative festive events. The process may be rendered as an exhibition, as also a gathering, as a library, as a temporary archive, a salon. It will also take the form of a workshop, a temporary atelier, a media studio and a reading group. We invite the applicants to imagine that the city itself is their studio, and that urban realities are their materials. For detailed information on how to apply, click here. The Sarai Programme at CSDS, Delhi is an interdisciplinary platform for the investigation and interpretation of contemporary urban life. Sarai produces events and processes, publishes offline and online content and generates contexts for research and creative practice.
