Exploring History through Art and Art through History
We are excited to announce that applications for the Wallis Annenberg Helix Fellowship 2020–2021 are now open.
Helix is the opportunity for students and scholars to explore historical borderlands through the lens of Jewish and intercultural creativity. We invite students and educators enrolled or employed at a recognized institution during the 2020–2021 academic year to be part of this transformative experience.
Throughout the course of the program, fellows spend a full year immersed in the regions and cultures that sustained vibrant and diverse multilingual communities before the genocidal devastation of the twentieth century. Fellows literally follow in the footsteps of great poets in Minsk and painters in Vitebsk, reproducing artworks and reciting poems in the places they were originally created. With the generous support of the Annenberg Foundation, the Fellowship cultivates and shares new artistic and scholarly work inspired by the themes and figures that fellows encounter together.
