We are delighted to announce the launch of MOWAA’s inauguralDRUM Fellowship,
a new interdisciplinary programme exploring the histories, legacies and
contemporary resonances of DRUM through archival research, creative
practice and public engagement.
Developed
as an extension of MOWAA's Social History Archives practice, the
fellowship reflects our commitment to expanding access to archives and
collections as sites of inquiry, cultural memory and creative
production. It foregrounds the archive not as a static repository, but
as a living space for reinterpreting Africa's social and visual
histories and generating new forms of knowledge.
The fellowship is made possible through MOWAA's collaboration with Bailey’s African History Archive(BAHA)and the generous support of the Ford Foundation. Running from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027,
fellows will engage directly with archival materials through a
programme of research, mentorship and public engagement, developing
projects that critically examine DRUM's enduring influence on media,
identity, politics and culture across Africa and its diasporas.
Learn more about the DRUM Fellowship and apply here. Applications close at 12:00 AM on 16 August 2026.
