| Website | Cavendish Arts Science Fellowship at Girton College Website |
This unique collaborative opportunity is open to artists internationally and is not confined to any single aesthetic, theme, or medium. The Fellowship is financially supported.
We are seeking adventurous artists whose practice resonates with our ethos of questioning, collective imagining and decentring. Artists with no previous experience of working with scientists or in a scientific environment are particularly encouraged to apply.
The Fellowship will last for one year from October 2023 and will include a residency period in Cambridge, typically of at least six months up to one year, with potential for the period of residency to be split across two visits.
Previous Cavendish Arts Science Fellows include experimental filmmaker Logan Dandridge who brought specific interests in memory, non-linear time and Black experience to his dialogues with physicists, and artist and composer Ain Bailey, our current Artist Fellow, who is currently in residence in Cambridge. Ain brings her interest in multi channel sound, architectural acoustics and the constellation of sounds that form individual and community identities to her encounters with physicists.
Insights into their experience of the Fellowship can be found on our website.
