We are pleased to launch the application process for Venice Fellowship programme 2023 and to celebrate the work of our two Fellows of 2022.
Rim Yasine Kassab and Razan Simbawa both recently spent a month in Venice as Fellows supporting the award winning work of Artist Sonia Boyce and developing their own research . https://venicebiennale.britishcouncil.org/feeling-her-way
La Biennale Venezia is an important international platform for debate discussion and showcasing which takes place on Venice Island alternating between Art Biennale (2022 was its 59th)and Architecture ( 2023 will be its 18th ) . It is attended by thousands of visitors between the months of May and November during which time the Venice international Film festival takes place each September .
Through the Venice Fellowship Programme Liverpool School of Architecture provides the opportunity to undertake a month residency in Venice during the Biennale months to help invigilate the British Pavilion’s exhibition in Venice’s Giardini and undertake supported research of a small Venice / Biennale based project of choice.
LSA has Partnered with the British Council to sponsor two students to become Fellows during the Venice Architecture Biennale 2023 .
This opportunity at LSA is uniquely open to MArch4 and PHD students and our event is to introduce the programme and to hear from former fellows about their experience and their research
