Entangled Ecosystems Grant

What does it mean to be entangled–with a forest, a fungus, or a changing climate? How do field notes, temperature logs, or a canopy scan reveal the pulse of an ecosystem–and the ways it is being disrupted? 

Science Gallery Bengaluru and Shared Ecologies – a programme supported by Shyama Foundation – invite artists or collectives of Indian nationality for the Entangled Ecosystems grant. This is an opportunity to create a new exhibit that explores ecological connections through the intersection of art, science, and research. 

The selected artist or collective will collaborate closely with ecologist Dr Meghna Krishnadas, engaging with material ranging from plant tissues and fungal cultures to spreadsheets, models, and images of the forest canopy. The final work will take the form of an exhibit, with mediums being interpreted through sound, video, installation, sculpture of a combination of these. 

The commissioned exhibit will be developed between July 2025 and February 2026, and will be unveiled March 2026.
