Cultivating Diasporic Futures – Uprooting Hate is a pilot mentorship programme supporting five under-31 BLK and/or diasporic intersectional photographers to envision and create transformative futures. Working alongside an established artist-mentor, selected practitioners will develop new visual projects that uproot structures of hate and cultivate new possibilities for liberation, resilience and joy.

This mentorship programme explores hate in multiple, complex, and layered forms: black/brown hate, misogyny, afroqueerphobia, homophobia, transphobia, fatphobia, disablism, classism, colonialism, and cultural or institutional violence. At the same time, centring practices of care, reparative action, resistance, and world-building.

Your project may document collective action, celebrate community resilience, trace intimate stories, or imagine new ways of being and seeing. Your project could be rooted in memory work or speculation on new radical ways of being, belonging, and living otherwise.

We’re interested in bold, subversive, transformative, and/or imaginative lens-based work that refuses to let hate have the final word: engaging photography as a tool for witnessing, for world-building and for envisioning liberatory, diasporic futures.
