The Artraker Fund

The Artraker Fund was established in 2012 by INCAS Consulting Ltd and is the brainchild of political artist, Manali Jagtap-Nyheim. The Fund celebrates and awards new ideas and art works that make a direct positive change in countries which have experienced social upheaval and violent conflict.

Our name is derived from “Muckraker”, a term coined by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1906. It refers to the adversarial journalistic movement before the First World War that investigated and published truthful reports on social issues. “Artraker” draws on this tradition.

A first of its kind, the Fund aspires to create fertile ground for the encounter and exchange between peace-makers and peace-builders on the one hand, and artists operating in this environment but using different methodologies.

ARNA cooperate with the The Church of Sweden and the Pilgrim Way in Skåne and Blekinge.

Walking trails
In The Avian Kingdom 3 walking trails follow the same path for 13 km; 2 pilgrim trails and 1 hiking trail. At the very spot where they meet in Harlösa, with a beautiful view out over the landscape, we hope to build our future residency center. As part of the vision to be a venue where art, nature and people of all cultural background meets, ARNA has created the combined art project and residency stay with the name ”Walking Peace”; a green, peaceful way of making new connections across cultural backgrounds and religions to create art as a statement for peace.

Allianz Cultural Foundation Grants for Artists in Europe

 

The Allianz Cultural Foundation addresses primarily exceptionally gifted young academics and artists in Europe. In particular, we support cooperative projects with involved partners from at least three countries. In addition to the required artistic, academic or respectively educational quality, the project application has to point out, that the participating project partners share the financial and thematic responsibility and cooperate at eye level. Special attention is paid to projects, which enable long-term networks between the involved artists and project partners. Hence the Allianz Cultural Foundation only supports projects but no institutions. The Allianz Cultural Foundation focuses on particular regions within Europe. Aside from the countries of Central and South-eastern Europe the focal point of the next years lies on the Mediterranean area.

 

The criteria for funding focus on contemporary concepts of every genre and media which prove new ideas in the arts, culture and education. The projects may also be workshops, whereas the active knowledge transfer and the exchange of experiences between the participants are valued just as the result itself. Furthermore, sponsored projects should on the long run appeal to a larger audience than only professionals.

Project applications – the most important at a glance

The deadline for project applications for this year has expired on April 30, 2012. Applications for projects in 2014 have to be handed in at the Allianz Cultural Foundation on March 31, 2013, at the latest. Please send your applications via email as well as via mail. The application should not include more than five pages. In your budget planning (part of the application), you should clearly indicate what concrete subtotal you apply for, and for what purposes. Furthermore we would kindly like to ask you to fill out the "project sheet" (max. 2 pages) which you can find on top of this page. As a matter of principle, the Allianz Kulturstiftung only co-finances projects, and never assumes full financing.

 

In accordance with the Foundation's programme the following are, as a rule, not entitled to grants:

• Supporting individuals or institutions as far as they are not committed to special projects of the Allianz Kulturstiftung as project partners
• The allocation of scholarships
• The promotion of individual third party publications
• The promotion of any kind of productions (e.g. film, theatre)
• Institutional aid without concrete links to projects (e.g. renovations, instruments, technical equipment and real estate)
• Refinancing projects which have already finished
• Events in the entertainment sphere or those where the Allianz Kulturstiftung has been approached with a view to commercial promotion activities

The application procedure

The duration of the project aid is always limited in terms of time. Applications for grants addressed to the Foundation should outline the planned project and beyond that, should embrace a detailed concept of the project as well as a schedule and financial plan. The applications have to be handed in via email as well as via mail.

Should the sponsoring principles of the Foundation be fulfilled, the application is presented to the interdisciplinary Advisory Board for discussion, since this is the board for academic and artistic matters that bears responsibility for the quality of the projects selected. The Advisory Board then makes its respective recommendation to the Board of Trustees, which - having the authority to specify guidelines - makes the final decision for the sponsorship programme.

Aktion KulturAllianzen

In addition to its cooperational projects all over Europe, the Allianz Kulturstiftung is also engaged at a local and regional level in Germany with its Aktion KulturAllianzen. As an independent project within the Foundation's sponsorship programme it accompanies and aids the cultural commitment of representatives of the Allianz SE on a local level. At the moment aid is limited to 2,250 euros per project, two thirds of which comes from the Allianz Kulturstiftung, one third from the local Allianz representative. Further information on this project can be found under projects on this homepage.

On completion of travel a report of approximately 1,500 words on the outcomes of research is required, together with a budget outlining how the money was spent.

The first CPPC Travel Award was granted in 2012 and was given in honor of curator Virginia Pérez-Ratton (1950-2010) who was internationally renowned for working with contemporary artists in Central America and the Caribbean. As a resource complementing the CPPC Travel Award, ICI hosts an online platform that provides information about Pérez-Ratton as well as the institutions, archives, collections, and cultural activities in the region. This resource will also eventually include accounts from the Travel Award grantee.

Knight-Bagehot Fellowship in Economics and Business Journalism

The Knight-Bagehot Fellowship in Economics and Business Journalism offers qualified journalists the opportunity to enhance their understanding and knowledge of business, economics and finance in a year-long, full-time program administered by the journalism school. Fellows take courses at Columbia's graduate schools of journalism, business, law and international affairs; participate in off-the-record seminars and dinner meetings with corporate executives, economists and academics; and attend briefings and field trips to New York-based media companies and financial institutions.
The program is designed to meet the public interest in business and economics news and the demand for trained editors and reporters in the field. In scope and depth, it is considered the most comprehensive business journalism fellowship in the country.

Eligible Knight-Bagehot fellows may qualify for a Master of Science degree in journalism upon completion of this rigorous program.

Conducted during Columbia’s academic year from August through May, the fellowship accepts up to 10 fellows each year. Fellows receive free tuition plus a stipend to offset living expenses in New York City. For the 2014 academic year, a stipend of $55,000 will be granted to each fellow. Housing is available in a Columbia-affiliated facility.

The fellowship is named for the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, of Miami, which has established an endowment for the program; and Walter Bagehot, the 19th-century editor of The Economist. The Knight Foundation has been the principal sponsor of the fellowship since 1987. The program also depends on grants from a number of other charitable foundations, corporations and publishing organizations for a portion of its annual budget.

The fellowship’s sponsors have no role in the selection of fellows or the organization of the fellowship’s curriculum, which are controlled by the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.

Concept

The title is: ERRORS ALLOWED, which focuses on regimes of knowledge and self generated education strategies in the arts and their reflection on the broader society.
We invite artists to participate in this international open call, in order to offer their views on the concept with the aim of bringing a number of different contributions to rethinking society as a place where Utopian ideas still reside, as well as investigating the idea of education that goes beyond its current status of simply offering tools and services  to increase one’s personal competitiveness on the labour market.

We encourage risk taking, freedom of thinking, imagining and acting, and the re-conceptualization of the present, developing critical potential and questioning hegemonic systems.
In the last two years many countries from the Mediterranean area has seen massive economic, political and social changes. How have these changes influenced the production of art? Considering the general instability and the continuing fluctuations we decided to explore this and the potential of the social, cultural and political transition and to exhibit artists who are working on experimental forms, questioning the role of art in the society.

This new socio-economic situation has led to new forms of artistic production: artists have to a large degree changed their way of working, from individual to collective practices, with a growing interest in anonymous works and actions and a renewed focus on the idea of the public space as  a ground for narrative  practices. This has been paralleled by an increasing necessity to re-claim urban spaces  for citizenship’s practices, experimenting new forms of understanding  in the society.

More over, in this multidimensional crisis context, the simple act of meeting, discussing and sharing ideas implies the possibility of expanding the spectrum of our own views, skills and awareness. It is not just a purely practical opportunity but a necessity in terms of planning self strategies of evolution.
Finally, it means to take possession of a common narration (method) and, therefore, of a community (principle) which can propel the process of sharing. Implementing narrations and stories growing for cellular proliferation, without boundaries. This  process follows a circular path and it is set in a collective space, where free and independent practices of learning and artistic production occur.
These “Informal strategies“ are employed in many regions of the world not out of choice but  a necessity born out of limitations due to factors such as class, ethnicity or the degree of social connectedness. With access to official education severely limited, self-education – undertaken individually by seeking alternative means of learning or through a process of sharing and exchange – represents a powerful form of resistance. In this way, self-education becomes an active and dynamic reaction to the attempt to impose set patterns of knowledge, typical of systems run by state authoritarianism and censorship.

This Biennial also deals with resistance, in every possible form, to the regimes of knowledge. That’s why we are looking for artists who pursue, challenge and push the limits of their work, investigating: possible realities, structures and systems of communication, dynamics of information, methodologies of educations and the practices of sharing.

Social Justice Reporting for a Global America: International Reporting Fellowship Program for U.S.-based Journalists

Plagued by the twin challenges of a slow economy and digital disruption, many U.S. news organizations are cutting back on foreign coverage and are shrinking their editorial staffs.
But journalists can play an essential role in raising awareness around international social justice issues, including women’s rights, corruption, human trafficking, poverty, religious tolerance, environmental issues, migration and education.

It is with this in mind that ICFJ announces the Social Justice Reporting for a Global America Program, sponsored by the Ford Foundation.
Through this fellowship, U.S.-based journalists gain foreign reporting experience and an opportunity to cover important international social justice issues around the world.
Similar to ICFJ's "Bringing Home the World Fellowship for Minority Journalists," the Social Justice Reporting for a Global America Program is open to all U.S.-based journalists.
Applicants must present a project proposal in their application, detailing the reporting project they would be interested in pursuing.
The deadline for submitting applications is February 8, 2013.

Selected journalists attend a week-long orientation at ICFJ’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., in May 2013, where they will fine-tune their reporting projects and will gain new reporting skills to work overseas. Following orientation, fellows will report in the field for up to two weeks. Upon returning to the United States, they will finish their stories and broadcast or publish them by September 30, 2013.
Journalists interested in this opportunity can apply here.
