ArtsEquator Fellowship 2023/24 for Southeast Asian arts critics and journalists

ArtsEquator calls for applications from mid-career arts critics and journalists from Southeast Asia for their remote Fellowship, 1 October 2023 to 31 March 2024.

They are looking for applicants who are interested in being a voice for their community, spotlighting artistic works in their country, offering insight into subjects that are not often explored, and being a part of the wider arts network in Southeast Asia.

Their first cycle, in 2023/2024, is focused on performance (theatre and dance) and film in Southeast Asia. Fellows will work on 5 reviews that can be delivered in writing, video or podcast format, and one in-depth essay. They are looking for content that offers insights into what is happening in the arts in their respective countries.  

Applicants should propose a provisional list of the 6 topics/events/performance/films they intend to cover during the Fellowship period in their application. 

The content is not produced for publication on ArtsEquator.com, but to support the applicant’s own local network of publications and/or distributions. Therefore, applicants must indicate where they wish to publish/distribute the content. This may be existing websites, news portals, social media accounts, substack, newsletter, blog, podcast channel or video channel that reaches their local community.

A total of 5 Fellows will be selected for this cycle and each Fellow will receive a stipend of 5,000 SGD for the Fellowship period.
