About the fellowship: Chobi Mela invites Bangladeshi new media artists to apply for the Fellowship Programme 2026 — an opportunity to explore, experiment, and expand your creative practice. This fellowship encourages artists from diverse backgrounds to push the boundaries of lens-based practice, engaging with photography through interdisciplinary approaches such as time-based media, performance, installation, sculpture, and research-driven work.
Under the mentorship of Shohrab Jahan — interdisciplinary artist, curator, and Assistant Professor at the University of Chittagong — selected fellows will develop new projects that will be exhibited as part of Chobi Mela XI.
What you get: Professional development, a partial production support will be provided to the participants and exhibition opportunity.
