About
The South Asian Video Art Production Grant is a 15,000 Euro grant directed at artists living in South Asia and aims to be a tool for increasing contemporary artistic production in the video art field.
This project was conceived through the vision and aspiration of the Prameya Art Foundation, with the objective of partnering with the Han Nefkens Foundation to conceptualise a production grant specifically for emerging and mid-career artists residing and practicing in South Asia, with a strong commitment to the medium of moving image art.
The grant aims to commission a moving image work over nine months by an artist from South Asia, nominated by experts in the contemporary arts. This regional focus recognises the commitment that Prameya Art Foundation has towards initiating support structures for artists across South Asia, especially in ways that do not currently exist.
The nominees who will be considered for this grant will be recommended by a panel of scouts who are experts in the field and the jury will consist of the partner institutions and collaborators. The recipient will be exhibiting the resulting work at the following institutions:
| Ishara Art Foundation, Dubai Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo (MOT), Japan Museum of Contemporary Art Antwerp (M HKA), Belgium Nottingham Contemporary, UK
|
This collaborative effort aims to connect artists globally and advance mid-career video artists' careers. We're excited about the possibilities this project holds for the South Asian art community.
