Podcast | A conversation on cultural mobility in India

As India's cultural mobility landscape continues to evolve, what are some of the mobility funding opportunities available to artists and cultural professionals? How are mobility funders in India adapting to global challenges such as the climate crisis and exploring alternative forms of cultural exchange like virtual collaborations? 

In this episode of Opportunities for Mobility & More, ASEF culture360 speaks with Ananya Bhattacharya, Secretary of Contact Base, Dr Debanjan Chakrabarti, Director British Council, East and Northeast India and Shreela Ghosh, Secretary of the Charles Wallace India Trust

Hear the speakers' observations from the research of the 2025 edition of the India Mobility Funding Guide and how they are taking strides in fostering cross-border collaborations post-pandemic.  

Since 2012, ASEF through culture360 has collaborated with On the Move (OTM), the European network for cultural mobility to jointly present the Mobility Funding Guides for International Cultural Exchange for the 51 countries of the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM).  We hope that these guides will help you navigate cultural organisations that fund exchanges in and between Asia and Europe.
