Open Society Institute
Category: Arts & Culture
DescriptionThe Institute’s Documentary Photography Project created the Distribution grant, now called the Audience Engagement grant, to support photographers who would like to take existing documentation of issues they care about and use that work as catalysts for social change. The grant, created in the context of diminishing print media outlets, promotes alternative models for presenting and disseminating documentary photography to the public. In addition, the Institute hopes to stimulate innovation in designing projects that create meaningful interactions with photographic content. The new name for the grant more accurately reflects its goals. The grant supports projects that actively engage audiences on human rights and social justice issues. Priority is given to projects that combine existing bodies of work with programming or tools that give viewers a deeper, more nuanced understanding of the issues and/or empower them to participate in the process of improving their own or others’ realities. Projects should include a partnership between individuals and organizations that combines expertise in documentary photography with experience working on the topic or community the project addresses. Additional information including the Institute’s online application system can be found on the Web site.
