Fellowships
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.
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.
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.
