About the Journal
ShodhShreejan: Journal of Creative Research Insights is a half-yearly, open-access, double blind, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the visual and performing arts, publishing research in Hindi and English. It explores how artistic practices—across fine arts, design, crafts, music, theatre, new media and creative technologies—create meaning, shape cultural identities, and respond to social, technological and environmental change.
The journal aims to provide a rigorous yet practice-sensitive platform where artists, designers, performers, technologists, researchers, educators and students can present original scholarly and practice-based work. ShodhShreejan particularly welcomes contributions that document and analyse traditional and folk/tribal arts, contemporary and experimental practices, design innovation, technology-enabled creativity, heritage and sustainability, and new pedagogical approaches in the creative disciplines. All submissions undergo initial editorial screening followed by a double-blind peer-review process.
ShodhShreejan invites high-quality theoretical, analytical and practice-based contributions that advance knowledge in visual and performing arts and their intersections with technology, including but not limited to:
- Fine Arts and Art History Painting, sculpture, printmaking, calligraphy, art philosophy and aesthetics, comparative and stylistic studies, and critical engagements with modern and contemporary artists and movements.
- Folk, Tribal and Traditional Arts & Crafts Folk and tribal arts, traditional mask-making, Kalamkari and other indigenous painting traditions, handicrafts and material culture, with attention to heritage, symbolism, technique and community life.
- Fashion, Textiles, Interior and Industrial Design Fashion and textile design (including CAD and digital tools), handloom and GI-tagged products, apparel and surface design, interiors and spatial design, product and industrial design, and design-led innovation for everyday life.
- Audio-Visual Techniques, Media Arts and New Media Video and spatial installations, animation and motion graphics, audio-visual storytelling, media-based performance, immersive and interactive experiences, and the creative use of digital platforms in art and design education.
- Creative Technologies, AI and Computation in the Arts Applications of AI, machine learning, image processing, computer vision, generative systems, data visualisation and interactive technologies in visual and performing arts; algorithmic and computational art; technology-enhanced performance; and research on tools, workflows and ethics at the art–technology interface.
- Music, Dance and Performing Arts Classical, folk and contemporary performance traditions; theatre and performance studies; choreography and movement research; and practice-based explorations that connect performance with history, memory and community.
- Branding, Visual Communication and Creative Industries Caricature and cartoons in visual branding, design for communication and advertising, creative entrepreneurship, cultural heritage and economic sustainability of artisan communities, and creative-economy perspectives on art and design.
- Art, Ecology and Built Environments Environmentally responsive art and design, renewable and clean energy in built form and smart urban developments, and spatial practices that link aesthetics, ecology and urban or rural habitats.
The journal publishes full-length research articles, creative and critical essays, case and field studies, reflective practice papers, and reviews of books and live/media-based visual and performing arts. ShodhShreejan offers an innovative platform for the creative and research community to document, analyse and re-imagine the arts—both traditional and technology-driven—as an integral part of cultural, social and sustainable futures.
Our Global Relevance
Each article published in ShodhShreejan: Journal of Creative Research Insights contributes toward the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As a half-yearly visual and performing arts journal—spanning fine arts, folk and tribal arts, handicrafts, fashion and textiles, interior and industrial design, music and dance, media and animation, AR/VR, CAD, and spatial design—it links creative practice with questions of heritage, education, inclusion, sustainable livelihoods, and environmentally responsible built environments.
ShodhShreejan particularly advances:
SDG 4: Quality Education – By supporting open-access, peer-reviewed scholarship on art and design education, including innovative pedagogies such as video installation for spatial learning and media-based studio teaching that build critical, visual and spatial literacy in early-stage learners.
SDG 5: Gender Equality – By publishing work that examines gender, sexuality and representation in visual and media cultures, including studies of queer representation in post-Section 377 Indian web series and critical readings of women’s bodies and agency in art and screen narratives.
SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth – By foregrounding creative and cultural economies—such as Gondi painting artisans, GI-tagged handloom and textile products, traditional toy-making and other craft practices—and exploring how design, branding and storytelling can strengthen livelihoods and economic resilience.
SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure – By encouraging research on CAD-based motif digitisation, animation principles in AR/VR, immersive media, and the integration of renewable energy in high-performance buildings and smart urban developments, connecting creative practice with technological and infrastructural innovation.
SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities – By giving voice to folk and tribal arts, artisan communities, queer and other marginalised identities, and by analysing how digital and visual media can either reproduce or challenge inequalities of class, caste, gender and region.
SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities – By documenting cultural heritage and living traditions—from Kathak and classical dance lineages to mask-making, folk arts, miniature painting and media architecture—and by examining renewable-energy-conscious building design that supports more liveable, culturally rooted cities.
SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production – By studying GI-tagged textiles, sustainable handloom branding, handmade toy cultures and other craft-based industries, promoting more informed, ethical and heritage-sensitive production and consumption in the creative sectors.
SDG 13: Climate Action – By publishing research on solar and wind energy integration in buildings and smart urban developments, and by linking environmental performance, material choices and spatial design to lower-carbon, climate-responsive futures.
We welcome submissions from artists, designers, performers, artisans, media and animation professionals, architects and spatial designers, researchers, students and educators. By combining rigorous research with practice-based and technologically enriched inquiry, ShodhShreejan advances creative work that meaningfully supports the SDGs across cultural, social and environmental dimensions.
