https://groundworks.io/announcements/18

Exploring the possibilities of annual collections, Ground Works is pleased to invite submissions to a 2024 collection; Stage 1 submissions received by January 29 will be given priority consideration. All research projects that integrate the arts with other disciplines will be considered.

Ground Works is a compendium of projects, critically reviewed for their interdisciplinary research aims and impact. As part of the Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru), select projects also receive further examination and analysis of the collaborative process in an effort to illuminate and understand the mechanisms and conditions that foster these innovative projects. Project contributors will work with a team from a2ru to rigorously articulate, document, and reflect on the modes of collaboration found within their work.

The Tiger as “Protector” to the Tiger as “Destructor”

The Tiger as “Protector” to the Tiger as “Destructor” advances the role of Gond paintings in fostering dialogue around environmental injustice within biodiversity conservation programs. The project will explore the intricate relationship between the Gond Adivasis people of India and nature, with a specific focus on tigers and conservation actions imposed upon them. The project will serve as a powerful means to initiate meaningful discussions about environmental justice and the impact of top-down conservation efforts on indigenous communities.
