Expressions of interest for both mentor and mentee positions are now open for Art Monthly Australasia’s Indigenous Voices Program (IVP).
IVP supports the next generation of Indigenous writers and editors to develop skills and agency within the critical arts writing space, all within a culturally safe framework.
IVP will team two First Nations emerging writers with two First Nations mentors in 2025. The program will result in publishing outcomes in Art Monthly Australasia.
NAVA-recommended rates of up to $1500 in total will be paid to each of the writers for their texts and the mentors will each receive an honorarium of $1500.
IVP also offers travel and networking opportunities.
The program is led by an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander advisory board co-chaired by Clothilde Bullen, Lead of Cultural Strategy and Development at Edith Cowan University, and Stephen Gilchrist, Senior Lecturer at the School of Indigenous Studies at the University of Western Australia.
