As part of Project VIS, ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø invites applications for a 2.5-year Mellon Fellowship in Visual Communication and Documentary Arts to embed best practices in design and technology into a campus-wide initiative to promote visual literacy and documentary storytelling.

We seek an energetic and collaborative partner who expresses a strong affinity for visual communication across a broad range of disciplines, is committed to community-based work that engages cultural and political realities through a personal point of view and integrates both creativity and critical inquiry in their work.
