Amrithasruthi RADHAKRISHNAN
Grants
To study how early Cold War diplomacy shaped India’s performing-arts institutions. Radhakrishnan aims to investigate how philanthropic foundations, diplomatic agencies, cultural intermediaries, and early artistic exchanges contributed to the institutional, pedagogical, and aesthetic frameworks that continue to influence India’s contemporary performance landscape. Her fellowship will center around archival research, interviews with artists, scholars, curators, and arts administrators, and attending performances by Indian artists in the U.S. Through these activities, Radhakrishnan will explore how diplomatic and institutional frameworks of the past maintain an influence over the circulation and visibility of diverse performing arts practices, as well as collaboration between arts communities in the U.S. and India. Her research seeks to offer new possibilities for cross-cultural artistic exchange.
