The Magnum Foundation's Open Call: Counter Histories Puerto Rico is an initiative that supports projects creatively reimagining the past to engage with urgent questions of the present and future. This call is open to photographers and artists who engage with photography in the context of Puerto Rico and its diaspora. The initiative aims to strengthen the role of photography in building a collective visual archive that is useful for the present and future of the archipelago.
$10,000 project development grant for up to eight participants. Funds may be used in whatever way fellows see fit in order to expand and complete projects.
Applicants should be committed to participating in all aspects of the fellowship program and contributing to its creative community of mutual support.
Applicants should be photographers or artists who engage with photography as a significant part of their creative practice.
There is no required training, educational degree, or level of experience to apply, and we encourage applications from self-taught photographers and artists who have not had access to formal training. Current students are welcome to apply, as are those with several decades of previous work. Our hope is that the selected cohort will be intergenerational and include a wide range of experience levels.
Applicants can be based anywhere in the world and identify with any nationality.
They especially encourage applications from communities facing systemic oppression and those whose authorship has historically been under supported or underrepresented within the field of photography.
