FfAI provides support for operations, projects and research to new and alternative forms of institutions that are active in visual art and culture. We also make grants to individuals for their self-directed research and related travel. FfAI currently supports individuals, collectives, and organizations whose work may be threatened by extreme conflict, repressive political contexts, public intolerance, or other circumstances that restrict access to funding.
Recent grants have focused on research and practices that address the escalating culture wars, the erosion of rights, censorship, and other conditions of constraint. Grants to individuals are awarded for research related to specific areas central to FfAI’s ongoing concerns, including alternative forms of institutionality, the redefinition and use of archives, new applications for the commons, and the development of dynamic definitions of community, connectivity, and solidarity.
