What is supported: Everything required to conduct research together, including co-research processes, art critique grounded in theory, context and methodology, collaborative analysis of findings and the publication and dissemination of results. This includes archive access, interview costs, travel for research, translation, art publication (editing, design, and production) and platform development for sharing outcomes.
