The University of York's Centre for Applied Human Rights (CAHR) through a grant from the Open Society Foundation, is calling on artists and activists around the world to apply for COVID-19 funding of up to £3 000 (US$3,750). The CAHR recognises that collaborative endeavours between activists and artists have the potential to provide innovative responses to the current COVID-19 emergency, whether in a reactive, therapeutic or imaginative form. The centre seeks applications from artists and activists to address one or more of the following three objectives:

  1. Document, monitor and analyse events in real time.

  2. Reflect on well-being, both your own and that of your communities/organisations.

  3. Go beyond a reactive response to imagine new, alternative futures.

This future-oriented project could assess how crises and disruption open up new possibilities for creativity and innovation, as well as for regressive and repressive measures, and/or build on positive responses to the virus itself (local and global forms of solidarity).
