We are now accepting applications for UnBox 2013 Fellowships! CLOSING DATE: 23 NOVEMBER 2012
Would you like to take part in one of India’s most innovative cross-arts festivals and play a key role in a working group challenged with a theme-based project? Read on!
We’re looking for innovative UK-based creative practitioners to participate in the UnBox 2013 Fellowships in Delhi, India over a five week period from Jan – Feb 2013.
The UnBox Festival takes place from 6-10 February 2013.
The winning fellowship applicants will take part in a 3-4 week placement prior to the Festival, working on a theme-based team challenge at one of five host organisations (one fellow per host - see fellowship options below).
Teams will then present their fellowship outcomes and big ideas at the UnBox Conference for a chance to be awarded further booster funding with which to continue their collaborative projects.
UnBox Festival - 'Action at the Intersections'
UnBox aims to further the practice of innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration through keynotes, discussions and workshops anchored by leading and emerging practitioners.
It celebrates interdisciplinary processes and experiences that shape contemporary thought and action across a range of domains - Development, Design, Business, Identity, Reform, Culture & Technology -through immersive and multi-sensorial formats. Several exciting events, including performances, exhibitions and installations, will be organized alongside the UnBox Conference.
Fellowship options
The fellowships combine all that UnBox is anchored around: interdisciplinary practice, honest and intimate experiences, and the chance to try something 'hands on'. We’re looking to bring a fresh set of interdisciplinary innovations to the Festival with the help of five carefully selected teams - each working on one fellowship scenario.
The placements will take place in the weeks immediately leading up to UnBox Festival (6-10 Feb 2013).
