Fellowships

The Stedelijk Fellowships are designed to create a nurturing space for editorial and artistic research practices, providing a rare and focused opportunity within the framework of fellowships and residencies. It stands as a commitment to the advancement of these practices, allowing for an in-depth exploration of topics that span across both scholarly and public forums.

Stedelijk Studies is delighted to announce the initiation of The Stedelijk x C& Editorial Fellowship. This program is crafted to support emerging editors and/or artist-researchers, offering them the opportunity to develop and present their research or produce a special issue of Stedelijk Studies. The objective is to foster new perspectives within the realm of modern and contemporary art research and criticism, enriching the discourse with a multiplicity of voices and innovative ideas.

In collaboration with C& we are proud to highlight our first editorial fellow Wanini Kimemiah. Kimemiah, an artist and editor from Nairobi, will undertake a six-month tenure, contributing their editorial insights and artistry which will result in an Editorial Fellowship issue within Stedelijk Studies.

The Stedelijk Artistic Research Fellowship is designed to apply artistic researcher methodologies to parts of our collection and research strategies. Katerina Sidorova is the first recipient of this fellowship at Stedelijk Studies. Sidorova will engage with the Nikolai Khardzhiev archive at the museum.

Through these fellowships, both are poised to make significant contributions to Stedelijk Studies and the wider art community.
