2019/20 Clore Fellow Ihitashri Shandilya talks about the Chevening Clore Fellowship
How did the Chevening Clore Fellowship transform Ihitashri Shandilya’s cultural leadership journey? From empowering women to building global heritage connections, discover how her experience became a defining milestone.
The Chevening Clore Fellowship was the most significant milestone in my cultural leadership journey.
Promoting heritage globally and creating opportunities for women has been my lifelong mission, but it truly transcended to the highest orbit when I attended the Fellowship. Learning from extraordinary peers, industry experts, and my mentor, along with study visits to UK cultural institutions and secondment at the prestigious Tate, greatly enhanced my understanding of the creative and museum industries in the West.
This invaluable experience allowed me to expand my impact on heritage clusters in India and develop global relations and business, including those with prestigious national UK museums. The Chevening team in India and the Clore Leadership team in the UK consistently motivated me to achieve my vision and continue to do so. My fellowship peers became my lifetime friends, mentors and connections.
What more could I ask for in my lifetime?
Happiest 21st Birthday to Clore Leadership!!! May you continue to shape many more dream careers of cultural leaders globally.
