Residency for photographers 2020

Deadline: 15 October 2019

Magnum Foundation’s Photography and Social Justice Program expands diversity and creativity in the field of documentary photography through capacity-building and critical explorations of photography and social change.
Each year, the program supports a diverse, international group of Photography and Social Justice Fellows who are passionate about challenging injustice, pursuing social equality, and advancing human rights through photography. With New York City as a cultural resource, the program provides space for interdisciplinary experimentation, mentored project development, and cross-cultural, critical discourse at the intersection of photography and social justice. During the program, Fellows work on projects with support from Magnum Foundation mentors.



Fellowship Applicant Criteria:

-Documentary photographers, artists, and photojournalists
-Activists who use photography in their change-making practice
-Scholars who incorporate images and image-making in their research and scholarship
-We encourage applications from self-taught photographers who have not had access to formal training.
-Applicants must be proficient in spoken and written English because all instruction will be in English.

No entry fee
