MAGNUM FOUNDATION/ HUMAN RIGHTS FELLOWSHIP

Description

The Human Rights Fellowship is aimed at intermediate and advanced international students, including experienced professionals. The six-week program is comprised of three courses and is designed to enable students to explore strategies for creating effective documentary projects in pursuit of human rights. Students will explore multimedia and traditional presentation strategies for their photo essays, which they will develop through two studio courses. A lecture course will provide participants with an opportunity to look at photography's strengths and weaknesses, both real and imagined, in attempting to determine new strategies for impact as both society and technology evolve. The final component is a discussion and writing course correlating with public guest lecture series featuring speakers from the fields of photojournalism, law, and media.


Eligibility

Intermediate and advanced international students, including experienced professionals living and working outside of North America and Western Europe are eligible to apply. Two fellowships supported by Open Society Foundations will be awarded to photographers working in China and Egypt.


Deadline: 9 December 2013
