Visiting
Researcher
Fellowship
Five fellowships are awarded yearly to PhD candidates, postdoctoral researchers, and scholars to support research on photography and the archive.
OVERVIEW
—
The Visiting Researcher Fellowship supports scholars, artists, and curators whose work engages critically with photography, archives, and visual culture. The programme provides a framework for developing research projects in dialogue with ARCHIVO’s interdisciplinary platform, fostering exchanges between theoretical inquiry, archival research, and artistic practice.
Collaboration at the Archivo Research Platform is volunteer and held remotely. Fellows are invited to pursue independent research while participating in the intellectual environment promoted by ARCHIVO, which encourages critical reflection on the cultural, political, and epistemological dimensions of archives and photographic practices. During the fellowship period, visiting researchers are expected to engage with the programme’s activities, contributing to discussions and presenting their ongoing research to the ARCHIVO community.
The fellowship aims to promote international collaboration and to support projects that advance innovative perspectives on archival practices, visual historiography, and the critical study of photographic collections.

My time as a Visiting Researcher was an invaluable experience for engaging with international artists and scholars working in shared areas of interest.
My research was supported and expanded by opportunities for peer-review and collaboration that the program provides.
Sharing my work with ARCHIVO Platform's community has allowed me to be part of a wider conversation that has enriched my archival practice.

Visiting Researcher Cohort 2023
Interacting with fellow Visiting Researchers and participating in the Reading Groups and Webinars was the turning point in my research experience. The global experience I got at ARCHIVO significantly improved my confidence and competence as a researcher. Over these years, the ARCHIVO's events have offered me valuable exposure to emerging research and academic dialogue. As a member of the network, I take pride in saying that accessing global archival research through the discourses here has broadened my perspective by exposing me to diverse historical sources and interpretations. Through inter-disciplinary cross-cultural and historical perspectives, I am constantly improving my ability to interpret and synthesize complex data. I am grateful to be able to participate, learn and contribute to the ARCHIVO Platform.
