In 2023, ARC awarded ten $1,000 Indigenous Poetics Lab Fellowships to Berkeley undergraduate & graduate students who use creative writing and other arts as language revitalization in Indigenous and/or endangered languages. Visual artists, performers, musicians, and writers were encouraged to apply. The fellowship's aim is to provide financial and developmental support to create new language-centered works.
The revitalization of Indigenous and endangered languages is an urgent matter, and the arts are a vital resource in the effort. The aim of this new fellowship program is to provide material and developmental support for up to ten language activists working in Indigenous and/or endangered languages to create new work with a focus on language, aesthetics, and form to support revitalization. Please read more about each fellow and their research interests below.
