The Fellowships for Creative Exploration have been created because the condition that most consistently produces significant creative work is one that most institutions find hard to provide: unstructured time, with modest material security, in a place with genuine intellectual depth. Six fellowships are offered annually to selected creative individuals — to enable them to spend a year in the spiritual ambience of Puducherry, to conduct free creative explorations in areas of their own choosing.
The objective is to provide a space to work together, discovering one’s own inner nature in a spirit of exploration without institutional structures or rules.
How it works
The fellowships are cross-disciplinary: Emerging Digital and Immersive Media, Interactive Arts, Fine Arts, Music, Dance, and Design research are all equally welcome.
The only formal expectation from the Fellows is a single Public Presentation at the close of the year — what form that takes: lecture, exhibition, performance, workshop, or publication, is entirely the fellow’s decision.
