This annual fellowship will appoint 3 emerging artists, curators, creative technologists, critical thinkers, or cultural activists, from any background, to support their potential as producers of the future.
We are committed to supporting the next generation of creative talent, and highlighting a broad range of perspectives on digital culture. Now in its second year, the Jerwood Arts / FACT Fellowship brings 3 distinct creative voices into the organisation anually to focus on their practice and professional development. Each of the UK-based artists are invited to respond to our current programme themes.
2020-21 Programme Theme → The Living Planet
2021-22 Programme Theme → Radical Ancestry
Residencies are hybrid (a mixture of in-person stays in Liverpool and online) and focus on the development of a new piece of work or research interest, with outcomes presented at FACT. Residency outcomes can either be works-in-progress or final versions of the work and can take the form of installations, events, or a range of other outputs.
We invite artists to experiment within our programme and their own practices, using this opportunity to make connections in Liverpool, exchange with other resident artists, interact with our audiences, and test out ideas and approaches.
In its first year, the fellowship was awarded to artists Angela YT Chan, Tessa Norton and Yambe Tam. Working remotely and supported through a digital residency, the artists presented their final outcomes in the exhibition, Uncertain Data. Together, the works exposed the complex layers defining the data that governs us, and questions the trust we place in it. Explore the artworks online.
In its second year, the fellowship was awarded to artists Ashley Holmes (Sheffield, UK), Lucy Hutchinson (London and Lancashire, UK) and April Lin 林森 (London, UK and Stockholm, Sweden). Each of the artists will take part in a funded hybrid residency to support their artistic practice. The outcomes of the residency will be presented at FACT in Summer/Autumn 2022.
