The grant proposals can focus on building a narrative through storytelling, podcasts, visual mediums, research papers, etc. Preference will be given to applicants based locally and working actively within the community.
The grants will fund projects exploring: community histories, experiences during the pandemic, notes on lived realities, political and social commentary, cultural production, labour and migrant relations, indigenous histories, etc., particularly historically marginalised women’s queer, feminist and oral histories, from community researchers, writers, artists, etc. These are a few examples, and this list is not comprehensive.
