MyWorld and Watershed have launched a paid opportunity to spend six months at Knowle West Media Centre (KWMC) located in Bristol’s Knowle West. They are inviting established creative technologists or artists/researchers who would be excited to deep dive into KWMC’s past digital arts and tech practices and use that lens to explore what matters now.
Fellows will be immersed in a socially engaged arts and tech organisation who have been working in and with communities to make, critique and creatively use cutting edge tech for almost 30 years. For KWMC it has always been essential to ensure that communities, especially those most marginalised, are able to.
They will award one person £12,000 for six months at 2.5 days/week face to face. They will be contracted and paid via the University of Bristol but managed by Watershed and the team at KWMC.
Watershed MyWorld Fellowships are aimed at freelancers, practitioners, industry folk, and academics based in the West of England. They offer paid experimentation and research time, with an emphasis on collaboration and interdisciplinary working. You will be bringing an existing practice, expertise or other relevant experience and are looking to apply that in an organisational setting with the view to share learnings more publicly with peers.
This Fellowship is part of the the MyWorld IDEAS programme, funded by UKRI.
