Counter Histories is an initiative supporting projects that creatively reframe the past to engage with urgent questions of the present and future. For our 2025 Counter Histories Fellowship, Magnum Foundation is calling for proposals from photographers who would like to expand and complete an existing project that responds to this theme and who are excited to contribute to a creative community of fellows. .

Up to ten selected participants will receive a grant of $10,000, take part in virtual project development workshops, and connect with collaborative partners and networks. Applications to the 2025 Counter Histories Fellowship are due Friday, November 1, 2024 at 11:59 PM ET.
