About the Journal

ShodhShreejan: Journal of Creative Research Insights, is a half-yearly journal of visual and performing arts, in which research papers are published in Hindi and English language. This journal combines all topics related to Arts. The main objective of the journal is to make academics, scholars and students studying all aspects of arts. Through the journal, we want to provide the form of a repository by collecting all research papers related to the subjects of all arts. And this is our main objective.

The journal invites research works based on real important and difficult elements related to visual and performing arts. The journal mainly encourages a series of own views of important subjects. The key subject consists of:

These topics are addressed in full-length academic articles, critical statements on current issues, developmental practice, and reviews of books and live/media-based visual and performing arts.

The journal presents an innovative platform for researchers, students, practitioners, and educators to both learn from and contribute to the field. All articles are subject to initial Editor screening and then a rigorous double-blind peer-review process before publication.

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—covering audio-visual techniques and media production, fashion, interior and industrial design, fine arts, handicrafts, and music and performing arts—it connects creative practice with social, cultural, environmental, and technological change.

ShodhShreejan particularly advances:

SDG 4: Quality Education- By providing an open-access, peer-reviewed platform where students, scholars, and practitioners can learn from work on art theory, pedagogy, design education, and creative experimentation (e.g., video installation as pedagogy in design education).

SDG 5: Gender Equality- By publishing research that interrogates gender, sexuality, and representation in visual and media cultures—for example, studies on queer representation in post-Section 377 Indian web series and depictions of women in art and culture.

SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth- By highlighting the role of creative industries—such as handicrafts, textiles, branding, and media production—in livelihoods and cultural economies, including work on GI-tagged handloom and textile products and the use of caricature and cartoons in visual branding.

SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure- Through research on animation principles in AR/VR, CAD, media production, and smart urban development (e.g., wind energy integration in Masdar City), supporting innovation at the intersection of art, technology, and built environments.

SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities- By giving space to diverse cultural voices and themes—including folk and tribal arts, heritage practices, and queer narratives—challenging exclusion and widening representation in visual and performing arts.

SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities- By documenting and re-imagining cultural heritage, traditional art forms, and place-based practices (such as miniature painting traditions and Indian folk arts) that help sustain vibrant, resilient communities.

SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production- Through studies on design, textiles, and branding—such as awareness of GI-tagged handloom products and critical reflections on visual branding—informing more thoughtful, culturally rooted production and consumption in creative sectors.

SDG 13: Climate Action- By engaging with environmentally responsive design and energy-conscious built forms, including work on renewable solar energy in high-performance buildings and wind energy integration in smart cities, strengthening the link between creative practice and ecological responsibility.

We welcome submissions from artists, designers, performers, media and animation professionals, artisans, scholars, students, and educators. By combining rigorous research with practice-based insights across studio, stage, and screen, ShodhShreejan promotes creative research that meaningfully contributes to the SDGs at local and global levels.
