The Affect and Colonialism Web Lab is a generative space to discuss colonialism’s affective lives and afterlives. Knowledge makers within and beyond academia explore new modes of co-learning and creative forms of collaboration.
The Affect and Colonialism Web Lab is now offering two digital fellowships from November 2021 until April 2022. The idea of this programme is to bring together two persons with different backgrounds, one being a university-based researcher and another from outside academia working in the arts, journalism, or activism. For a period of six months, this tandem of fellows will receive an honorarium that enables them to devote a significant amount of time and energy to realising a larger joint online exhibition format for the Web Lab. These formats can go far beyond a series of short videos and can include a curated selection of commissioned digital artwork, online events, digital roundtables or lectures, or other interactive formats that prospective fellows will be free in proposing and realising
The call is open to scholars and practitioners working on the intersection of affect and colonialism with an interest in exploring digital forms of communicating knowledge. The organisers welcome applications from inside and outside academia, particularly from the Global South. They invite artists, journalists, activists, filmmakers, researchers, writers, architects, curators, among others to apply. You can apply as an individual or as a tandem of an academic and a non-academic.
Each fellow receives a stipend of 6000€ for the time of the fellowship. The fellowships are online, residence in Berlin is not required, and you can work from anywhere in the world. Additional funds for realising the online exhibition (technical support to accommodate innovative digital formats and the commission of digital artworks) are available.
