On Sept 1, 2024, a new project was launched at ISTB: MANTRAMS - Mantras in Religion, Media, and Society in Global Southern Asia (ERC Synergy grant - 101118934).
Using an interdisciplinary approach that includes Indology, anthropology, sound studies, media studies, art history, and the history of religions, Borayin Larios and his team will create comprehensive sonic, visual, and digital textual archives. These archives will document the transcultural and multisensory dimensions of mantras, culminating in a museum exhibition and a wide range of academic deliverables.
