About Poorvam: International Journal of Creative Arts and Cultural Expression

Why Poorvam?

The Poorvam International Journal of Creative Arts and Cultural Expressions (PIJCACE), published by Dhvani Publication, emerges as a vital platform to address a critical gap in the global academic landscape. While numerous journals explore the arts, few embrace the interdisciplinary richness of creative arts and cultural expressions with a truly global and inclusive lens. PIJCACE is born from the need to foster dialogues that weave together classical traditions—such as Indian rasa and dhvani—with contemporary discourses, from digital art to postcolonial aesthetics. Our journal seeks to amplify underrepresented voices, particularly from Indian, Eastern, and Indigenous perspectives, while engaging with Western frameworks to create a dynamic, cross-cultural conversation.

In an era where cultural expressions shape identities and societies, PIJCACE stands as a beacon for scholars, artists, and practitioners to explore the transformative power of creativity. By launching this open-access, peer-reviewed biannual e-journal, we aim to democratize knowledge, making cutting-edge research accessible to a global audience and inspiring new paradigms in the study of arts and culture.

Our Vision

We envision PIJCACE as a global nexus for creative arts and cultural scholarship, where tradition and innovation converge to redefine the boundaries of artistic expression. Our vision is to cultivate a vibrant intellectual community that celebrates diversity, fosters interdisciplinary inquiry, and advances the understanding of cultural expressions as a force for human connection and transformation. We aspire to be a leading voice in the arts, recognized for our commitment to excellence, inclusivity, and the pursuit of knowledge that resonates across cultures and eras.

Our Mission

PIJCACE is dedicated to:

• Promoting Interdisciplinary Scholarship: Encouraging research that bridges performing arts, visual arts, literature, cultural studies, and emerging fields like digital humanities.
• Amplifying Diverse Voices: Providing a platform for global perspectives, with a special emphasis on Indian, Eastern, and Indigenous traditions alongside Western discourses.
• Ensuring Academic Rigor: Upholding the highest standards through a double-blind peer-review process, anti-plagiarism measures, and tools like Turnitin.
• Fostering Accessibility: Offering open-access publication to make scholarship freely available to researchers, artists, and enthusiasts worldwide.
• Inspiring Innovation: Supporting original, thought-provoking contributions that challenge conventions and expand the horizons of creative arts and cultural studies.

Through these commitments, PIJCACE seeks to nurture a global dialogue that honors the past, engages the present, and shapes the future of creative expression.
