ISM FELLOWS
ISM Arts & Culture Fellows are emerging serial creatives who break conventions, challenge perspectives, and collaborate to imagine how to forge the future of the platform while enriching their independent work. They work closely with us to experiment, research, explore the limits of their craft across our initiatives, create new ways to apply their practice in the world, become active in the extended network, and innovate within our organizational models to pursue their latest ideas. They are passionate and thoughtful, imaginative and bold, and believe that anything is possible.
