CripTech Incubator Request for Interest – Deadline Extended to 20 May
Leonardo CripTech Incubator is an art-and-technology fellowship centered on disability innovation. Through 2022-2023, this incubator creates a platform for artists with disabilities to engage and remake creative technologies through the lens of accessibility. Across five residency sites in California in 2022, artists will have the opportunity to engage with a cohort of other disabled artists and a network of experts in technology and media to develop a project at the intersection of disability, art and technology that innovates new forms of aesthetic access.
What? Where? When?
Each of these residency sites vary in structure, form, location and time. In a 16-week Spring intensive, ThoughtWorks Arts in San Francisco offers artists specialist software support in design and engineering. Over a year of remote and on-site engagement at Nokia Bell Labs’ Silicon Valley, artists will collaborate with scientists and engineers using emerging technologies like AR, VR and AI. Through a year-long residency at Berkeley Disability Lab, an artist will conduct research, collaborate with UC Berkeley faculty and engage with the disability community on campus. At Santa Barbara Center for Art, Science and Technology, an artist will live onsite for 8 weeks (July and August 2022), using cutting-edge tools and technology including a fully programmable media environment with a haptic floor. Beall Center for Art and Technology at UC Irvine will facilitate a year-long research-based collaboration between artist and faculty, conducted remotely with 2-3 weeks spent onsite. In 2023, artists will have an opportunity to present their work in Leonardo’s LASER salon series, participate in workshops, exhibit their artworks and be published in a special issue of Leonardo journal. Artists will be awarded an $11,000 stipend to support their projects.

Summer Institute 2021: Art as Activism in the Classroom
Summer Institute 2021 is a three day intensive virtual workshop series for teaching artists of all disciplines. The dates run July 22nd-24th. This year we will focus on art as activism or “artivism”. This past year, our students have experienced extreme societal upheaval and social injustices amidst a pandemic. We believe it is our job as teaching artists to help them navigate these events, their emotions, and their response to the world through art-making. During this three day intensive, teaching artists across the country will work with Teaching Artist Project staff to develop skills, lessons, and activities that will help support their students and bring activism through art into the classroom. Join us this summer to expand your ability to bring art and activism to the classroom, deepen your teaching with experiential, inquiry and reflection processes, connect with teaching artists from around the country, and build new strategies for creating a positive classroom culture.
