About Poorvam

Poorvam International Journal of Creative Arts and Cultural Expressions (PIJCACE) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal that serves as a global platform for advancing interdisciplinary scholarship in the creative arts, cultural expressions, and humanities. With its name rooted in the Sanskrit word Poorvam (meaning "Eastern" or "ancient"), the journal foregrounds perspectives from South and East Asia while fostering critical dialogues that transcend geographical and disciplinary boundaries.

Our journal addresses a significant gap in global academic discourse by championing voices and perspectives that have been historically underrepresented in mainstream scholarship. We are committed to creating an inclusive intellectual space where scholars, artists, and cultural practitioners from around the world can contribute to and benefit from rigorous academic inquiry.

The journal particularly welcomes submissions that explore:

• • Indian languages, literatures, and literary criticism
• • Classical and contemporary performing arts (music, dance, theatre)
• • Visual arts, aesthetics, and art criticism
• • Philosophical and religious thought from Eastern traditions
• • Cultural heritage, folklore, and oral traditions
• • Comparative studies bridging Eastern and Western artistic traditions
• • Digital humanities and contemporary cultural expressions
• • Postcolonial perspectives on art and culture

PIJCACE accepts high-quality visual illustrations to enhance scholarly articles and welcomes both original research articles and comprehensive review articles that contribute to the understanding of creative arts and cultural expressions.

We envision PIJCACE as a premier international forum where scholarly excellence meets cultural diversity, creating new pathways for understanding the rich tapestry of human creative expression. Our vision extends beyond conventional academic boundaries to establish a dynamic intellectual ecosystem that:

We aspire to be recognized globally as a leading journal that not only preserves and honors ancient wisdom but actively contributes to shaping the future of arts and humanities scholarship through innovative, rigorous, and inclusive research.
