Delfina Foundation is pleased to announce an open call for our annual Brooks International Fellowship Programme, in partnership with Tate.
Now in its eleventh year, the 2025 programme will enable a visual arts professional to work with Tate colleagues in London for six months, complemented by activities at Delfina Foundation.
Fully funded Brooks International Fellowships are made possible by the generous support of the Rory and Elizabeth Brooks Foundation. Since 2014, Tate and Delfina Foundation have hosted 14 Brooks International Fellows from Argentina, Thailand, Germany, France, India, Barbados, Mexico, Brazil, Portugal, Netherlands and Pakistan.
The Fellows will reside at Delfina Foundation, where they will contribute to the programme by presenting on their research or practice to a range of audiences as well as contributing to Delfina Foundation’s public programme.
Fellowship Opportunities

Tate welcomes applications for a Fellow to work with Tate St Ives, located in an artistically important coastal town in the far southwest of England, at a significant moment of change. The Fellow will contribute to the development of its artist residency programme, known as the Artists Programme.We are seeking a researcher who will explore different residency models that embed socially engaged practice and community building at their heart, whilst also actively engaging with climate and social justice, developing international partnerships and networks, and connecting with a diversity of cultures and communities (including indigenous communities). They will work collaboratively and openly to inform and inspire the development of an environmentally and financially sustainable framework for the Artists Programme.
2. Brooks International Fellowship 2025 in Tate Modern Curatorial Division
23 June – 7 December 2025
Tate welcomes applications for a Fellow to focus on developments in ink art across East and Southeast Asia from the modern period (20th century), as Asian artists encountered Western styles and ideas and began to innovate, while still holding on to the key principles of ink practice. This research Fellowship will respond to Tate’s commitment to expand its ink collection and will contribute to forthcoming exhibitions and displays.The Fellow will work with Tate colleagues to locate the practices of ink artists at the turn of modernity who sought to rethink, reclaim, and revive traditional techniques and philosophies. Together, we will attempt to grasp a more comprehensive story of ink’s development, beyond the prescribed temporalities and frameworks of Euro-American modernism.
