Short Description:
We are excited to announce the open call for the 2025-2026 cycle of the NAAS Research & Curatorial Fellowship — a 9-10 month program supporting researchers, curators, and cultural practitioners from the Arabic-speaking region and its diasporas.
The fellowship invites research projects that critically engage with cinema, media, and visual culture, and translate the results into a public-facing outcome. We are especially interested in projects that rethink inherited narratives, surface marginal or overlooked materials, and explore new modes of cultural participation and curatorial experimentation.
