We invite proposals from individual artists and artists' collectives, with projects in response to urgent ecological issues affecting the urban city. This year we have a special focus on the notion of food: food as artistic medium incorporating performance, art installations or interactive events that re-examine the significance and relevance of food in the social context, simply in its connection with the body or as a primary ritual that fosters engagement, interaction and collaboration.
However, projects need not be limited to the above.

The applications should include the following:

-    Production & Installation Budget not exceeding INR 1,00,000 (USD 2000) for the proposed project   
Costs of travel, modest accommodation and daily allowance are separate from the above production budget.
