Dear friends

It is with great pleasure that we would like to announce the selection
of the awardees of the short-term fellowships of the Cluster of
Excellence – Asia and Europe in a Global Context: Shifting Asymmetries
in Cultural Flows (at Heidelberg University, Heidelberg, Germany), on
the theme "Circulation of Popular Images and Media in Muslim Religious
Spheres".

Out of the several excellent proposals that we received, the following
six candidates have been selected for their respective themes.

1. Shirley Abraham/Amit Madheshiya (Mumbai) – “Devotional Visual
Culture at the Shrine of Sailani Baba”

2. Arshad Amanullah (Delhi) – “Maslak, Tabligh and the Technology”

3. Yogesh Snehi (Amritsar) – “Replicating Memory, Creating Images:
Pirs and Dargahs in Popular Art and Media of Contemporary East Punjab”

4. Abeer Gupta (Pune/Ladakh) – “The culture of Islam in the Western Himalayas”

5. Fiza Ishaq/Annapurna G. (Bangalore) – “Shia devotional art and
material culture: Visual narratives of transculturation, social memory
and community identity”

6. Noman Baig (Karachi) – “Mediating Belief and Senses:
Dawat-e-Islami's Emerging Madina of Visuality”

The fellows would be working on their respective themes for the next
six months and their research results would be published in the form
of an edited volume.
More details about the fellows and their respective subjects would
soon be available on our website.

Thanks
