New Artist Residency in India for Visual Artists, Performing Artists and Art Critics

    Hi everyone...this new residency in India just contacted me—I have no idea what they are like but they seem worth checking out.



    (ARTISTS & PERFORMING ARTISTS) Call for Artist Sowing Seeds 2011—International Artist Village Residency in India—



    Visual artists, performing artists, art critics and local community will collaborate to create work about environment and social development in rural Rajasthan (INDIA). There will be opportunities for collaborative work that interacts with the rural environment.



    “Sowing Seeds” is a project that intends to create dialogues and exchanges amongst artists beyond their national identity and serves as an opportunity for rural artists to meet, share and exchange ideas, visions, and diverse views in order to create a deeper understanding of art. It acts as a social environment developing and improving the artistic impressions of experts as well as emerging artists. As an alternative art space in INDIA, “Sowing Seeds” is geared to exchange the challenges required to organize such a contemporary artist village residency within rural areas and thus giving rise to a new era in art.

InDependence days of different Countries - independence days for every country, from the oldest to the youngest

    Many countries became independent following World War II when European powers granted independence to their vast colonial holdings, especially Africa.
