Delfina Foundation is inviting applicants from India and Turkey for the Research Fellowship 2013, which is in partnership with Iniva (Institute of International Visual Arts) and Goldsmiths College’s Department of Visual Cultures and the PhD Program in Curatorial/Knowledge.
The Foundation for Indian Contemporary Art is supporting a research fellow from India to be in residence alongside a participant from Turkey supported by SAHA. Please note that Indian participants should apply directly to FICA and applicants from Turkey should apply to Delfina Foundation.
The Research Fellowship 2013 aims to provide an opportunity for intensive research in the field of visual culture by curators and researchers who have an innovative visual culture project, and who might benefit from the research and curatorial work that is being done by the fellowship’s partner institutions in London. Artists are welcome to apply; however this residency is largely focused on the development of critical-curatorial discourse, not singularly on artistic practice.
The 2013 recipients will receive:

  • Access to the Iniva’s Stuart Hall Library and Archive
  • An opportunity to assist with Iniva and Delfina Foundation’s programming
