Arts & Cultural Organizing Fellowship

Mission

Arts and Cultural Organizing are pillars of Boston Ujima Project, Inc’s ecosystem. Ujima believes that artists and cultural workers are an integral part of building the new world; the knowledge, poetic imagination and inventiveness of artists has always helped the world find new, more liberatory, pathways forward. The Arts and Cultural Organizing Fellowship will be awarded to a member of Ujima’s Arts and Cultural Organizing community who demonstrates a commitment to their artistic practice and a commitment to the principles of Ujima. The Ujima Arts & Cultural Organizing Fellow will spend two years in an emergent, self-determined program tailored to the needs and interests of the fellow.

The Ujima Arts & Cultural Organizing Fellowship is an exploratory program designed to support artists, cultural organizers, and creative practitioners in deepening their engagement with experimental and socially engaged artistic practices.

This fellowship fosters critical inquiry and creative exploration, encouraging participants to engage with interdisciplinary approaches, cultural organizing strategies, and collective artistic practices. Rather than focusing on the development of a singular project, fellows will have the opportunity to investigate ideas, experiment with new methodologies, and refine their creative practice in a supportive environment.

The fellow will receive $25,000 in support over the two-year period.
