Storytelling is a fundamental practice of identity formation. Contemporary visual artists address the complexity of identity and tell stories as individuals and members of communities and social groups from across different positions of power, privilege, and oppression. The Summer 2022 Astor Fellows will connect visual storytelling to the work of teaching - looking at how educators tell stories through curriculum, elicit stories from their students, and co-construct narratives about the world and our place in it. Berlin is a multicultural city transforming daily with the increased influx of immigrants and refugees joining the city’s population.
Please note that applications for Summer 2022 are currently closed.
