For the implementation of a Foundation Project by IFA titled Entry-Points which is a research project that will use select objects from the Museum of Christian Art (MoCA) in Goa to trace larger global histories of iconographic and material affinities that resulted from cross-cultural transmission of ideas and objects among Europe, Asia and the Indian Ocean littoral. Beginning with the sixteenth century, the project will stage unexpected constellations of objects from the museum and elsewhere, together with contemporary artworks, to offer new frameworks of interpretation for a cultural moment that was unique to Asia. The outcomes will be an e-catalogue/book of the staged materials and newly commissioned artworks, a workshop and a three-part seminar. The Principal Investigator's deliverables to IFA with the final report will be the book, and video and audio material related to the public events. This project is a collaboration with the MoCA, Goa. Project funds will pay for honorarium, professional fees, printing and stationery, and travel and living expenses.
This Project was Terminated by IFA and the Project Coordinator is ineligible to apply to IFA in the future.
