Fellowships
Supporting 33 researchers, scientists, authors, engineers, activists and creators, representing 24 diasporic communities in 11 countries across 4 continents — Black, Palestinian & Arab, African, Indigenous (Turtle Island and Pacific Islands), and Asian; overwhelmingly femme and female-identifying.
Slow Factory’s Fellowship program evolved out of our practice of commissioning research and works across a broad range of areas of culture and industry.
We’re so proud to support and fund the work of Black, Brown, Indigenous, and Disabled folk exploring new ways of being and new ways of moving towards a just, equitable and sustainable future and society.
