Welcome to The IFA Archive Podcast, presented by India Foundation for the Arts, Bangalore! Here, we dive deep into the Archive at IFA with its vast repository of materials produced from projects implemented by us. Books, films, essays, games, and much more, find a place in our Archive. In each episode, artists and scholars share their experiences in working with archives, unpacking its myriad meanings in the ever-evolving artistic world and bringing to life a space that is historical, enigmatic and fluid. Launched in 2018, the IFA Archive is built with support from the SP Lohia Foundation.

Two grants made to her were towards research, documentation and dissemination of biraha (songs of separation) in the folk music of Bengal, and one for research into the life and work of Dutch ethnomusicologist Arnold Bake. Her research can be accessed on www.thetravellingarchive.org
