The Graham Foundation is pleased to announce the award of 56 new grants to individuals exploring ideas—across disciplines—that expand contemporary understandings of architecture. Selected from an open call that resulted in nearly 500 submissions, the funded projects include research, exhibitions, publications, films, podcasts, digital initiatives, and other inventive formats that promote rigorous scholarship, stimulate experimentation, and foster critical discourse in architecture. The funded projects are led by 81 individuals, including established and emerging architects, artists, curators, designers, filmmakers, historians, and writers, based in cities such as New Bedford, MA, Buenos Aires, Argentina; Beijing, China; Buffalo, NY; Cape Town, South Africa; Kathmandu, Nepal; Lagos, Nigeria; New York, NY; Porto, Portugal; Praia, Cabo Verde; Rotterdam, the Netherlands; and Chicago, where the Graham Foundation is based.

The new grantees join a worldwide network of individuals and organizations that the Graham Foundation has supported since 1956. In that time, the Foundation has awarded more than 42 million dollars in direct support to almost 5,000 projects by individuals and organizations. Learn more about Karimi’s project by clicking HERE
