Call for creative projects centred on Asia and the diasporas for the first-round of 2022 grants from the Bagri Foundation. The Foundation supports visual arts, digital production, music, written word, heritage and crafts, and projects mostly take place in London.

• Partnerships that explore global topics in creative ways
• Courses, lectures, research projects, exhibitions and symposiums that cover a wide range of topics from Asia

Most productions fall within the following format:

• Artist exhibitions or retrospectives
• Large scale exhibitions
• New public commissions
• Digital Projects
• Major festivals and biennials 
• Prizes and awards
• Long-term and cross-cultural research projects with public outcomes

Although most projects take place in London, international projects and those in other parts of the UK are considered occasionally.
