Short Description

The Brown Institute for Media Innovation at Columbia Journalism School is pleased to announce the second annual Marco Castro Cosio Media Art and Technology Fellowship.

This fellowship celebrates Marco’s legacy of bringing purpose and fresh perspectives to every one of his projects. Marco’s career and curiosity led him from museums to educational institutions to the sustainability arm of a major global corporation. In each venue, he fostered deep connections between individuals from very different disciplines to tackle critical and complex challenges like climate change and inequality through tech, media, and the arts. His background in digital media and his exploration of intersectionality and intentionality made him a trusted advisor and inspiring collaborator.

Eligibility

While this residency is remote, fellows based in New York City or those who would like to conduct a portion of their work in the city will be provided access to the Brown Institute space in Pulitzer Hall on Columbia University campus.

We encourage applications that embody Marco’s commitment to using technology, media, and the arts to address pressing societal challenges, foster collaboration across disciplines, and create meaningful connections between communities and ideas.
