south-south arts fellowships 2022

Living Arts International (LAI) is inviting applications for the South-South Arts Fellowships 2022. We are launching this fellowship as our pilot international program. We are acutely aware of the limited support available for nurturing wider and deeper connections among cultural workers within the Global South. In this context, the South-South Arts Fellowships 2022 seek to support individuals/collectives/teams or groups to build initiatives that enable long-term professional networks, alliances and collaborations among cultural workers and artists/creative practitioners living and working in developing economies in Africa (including North Africa), Asia (including West Asia and Central Asia) and the Pacific. Five Fellowships are being offered in 2022. Fellows will be expected to bring an initiative with them, which they have already been developing in some way and through which they intend to deepen and strengthen network building over the period of the Fellowship. Selected fellows will work on their proposed initiatives over six months from July to December 2022 - they will organise two virtual or hybrid activities during this period.
