THE RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP

The Research Fellowship is a valuable opportunity for a researcher whose work shows exceptional merit and promise. The Fellow will be invited to conduct research at CASTRO using a variety of archives, libraries and sources.

CASTRO will facilitate the fellow’s research by help planning visits to libraries and archives such as La Quadriennale Archive, La Galleria Nazionale Archive, the MAXXI Archive, the Toti Scialoja Archive, Crispolti Archive, Istituto Luce Archive and many more. The program also offers to arrange studio visits with Rome-based artists and artists hosted by the numerous foreign academies in the city.

The Fellow will have the opportunity to organise a talk, lecture, or a series of talks at CASTRO towards the end of their stay to either present their study subject or as a tool to further their research.

Duration: 17 weeks (mid-October to mid-February or March to June)
