Calls for Proposals

Applications for Connecting Modern Art Histories in and across Africa, South and Southeast Asia

The Dhaka Art Summit, the Institute for Comparative Modernities (ICM) at Cornell University, Asia Art Archive, and with support from the Getty Foundation, are launching a new research project entitled Connecting Modern Art Histories in and across Africa, South and Southeast Asia. The project brings together a team of leading international faculty and emerging scholars to investigate parallel and intersecting developments in the cultural histories of modern South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Africa during sessions in Hong Kong from August 11-22, 2019 and Dhaka from February 5-16, 2020.

We want to encourage applications from emerging scholars in East Africa and North Africa.
