Artists, researchers and cultural practitioners working across disciplines may also be eligible. The application period ends on October 27, 2026.
What selected practitioners will do

Interdisciplinary artist Moonis Ahmad Shah will mentor the fellow. The role involves research, work with the Science Gallery's programmes and curatorial teams, possible collaboration with researchers, and producing a proposal that can be realized within the available resources.
