Black Public Media, MIT Open Documentary Lab, and MIT Center for Art, Science & Technology are seeking applicants for the MIT & Black Public Media Visiting Artist Program to support Black creatives who use emerging technology as their medium for documentary and nonfiction storytelling.

Typically participants are filmmakers, artists, journalists, or creative technologists, and the OpenDocLab and Black Public Media communities are primarily composed of storytellers. The mission of this joint program is to support and develop the emerging-tech storytelling skills of a maker who is underrepresented within creative technology industries and bring Visiting Artists into community with like-minded storytellers.

This is a 9-month independent study program from September 2022 to May 2023.  Recipients have the option to do the program remotely or in person at MIT. This is an individual application, and both full-time and part-time faculty are eligible to apply.  The deadline to apply is July 7, 2022.
