SERENDIPITY ARTS VIRTUAL GRANT

In conceptualizing SAF Virtual, we considered many approaches to understanding, exploring and subverting the predetermined logics and ways of the digital platforms we’ve been flung into. People have sought intimacy, freedom, connection, solidarity through online platforms before—but rarely has our reliance on these platforms felt so visible, so extreme. We pondered on what it means to treat the internet as “site/s”—as moveable terrains that reveal as much as they conceal; as blocks that feel heavy and new but can be reassembled; as incidents that prompt action, thought, response.
 
In continuation of Serendipity Arts Virtual, we will be awarding a grant to two collectives, groups, duos, or collaborations to develop a project adapted to the digital space with funding up to 1 lakh per project. Projects have to interdisciplinary in nature, inviting collaborative projects, and will be hosted on the Serendipity Arts Virtual site/domain.

‘Homemakers’ was churned out of a mix of feeble memories and daily updates of Anu Bali incessantly working day in and day out- over the years and to this day.

Four interactive sections such as ‘Labour hours calculator’, ‘Name Change’, and more; aim to sensitize the audience towards the arduous life enforced upon/adopted by a homemaker as well as the growing gender gap in unpaid domestic and care work.
