Wisdom AnwanaThe ArtsLink International Fellowship Program gives preference to applicants whose social practices aim to actively involve communities in topics such as climate change and human rights.
Artlinks will support artists and arts leaders whose work contributes to people’s increased awareness, comprehension, and active participation in environmental and/or social justice concerns.
