May 28, Eidolon Grant for Vernacular Photography for Individuals and Groups

eidolon centre for Everyday Photography is calling artists, academics, enthusiasts, and professionals, who have a passion and serious interest in vernacular photography and everyday imaging.

eidolon is delighted to announce the launch of its first international grant for projects which explore, promote and conserve vernacular photography.

The eidolon Grant is an international programme that is presented annually to artists, academics, professionals, researchers, collectors and vernacular photography enthusiasts whose past work and proposed project is centred around the image heritage of everyday photography.

The eidolon Grant aims to identify phenomena, collections, histories, practices, and trends within vernacular photography with the aim of offering new interpretations and analyses. Thematising both photographic heritages and contemporary photographic practices is eidolon’s mission and we invite you to join us in this important exploration.

Each chosen project will contribute to the enrichment of our institution’s program in the coming year.
