Apply by February 29! —

The Diadromous Fellowship is a six-month, hybrid in-person and virtual fellowship program that will bring together applicants from the Central Valley and the Bay Area for a series of retreats and decentralized organizing for social, environmental, and economic justice in the places we call home.

Through an individual and collective arts activism practice, we seek to become stewards of our communities as well as strategize the future of our shared ecologies. 

The word diadromous, our arts activism fellowship’s namesake, is a word defined here as “migratory between saltwater and freshwater.” It is the relationship of the two that sparks immense fertility and biological diversity along California’s waterways, and embodies the spirit of intentional cross-pollination and bioregional organizing that this fellowship will be made of.


Fellows will
take part in:

  • Three (3) in-person retreats made up of relating to:

    • The River (Yokuts territory/Stockton, CA from May 24-27)

    • The Bay (Huichun territory/Oakland, CA from June 21-24) and

    • The Confluence (Location and time TBD, in July)

  • Monthly virtual gatherings from August to October

  • Being trained to use The Exposition as a movement storyteller in the Callegory 

  • Engaging our collective process to develop The Climax, the in-progress poster about California as a metaphor for global justice

Fellows will receive a working stipend for their time and will be expected to take part in all program activities for the entire duration of the fellowship.
