The Delfina Foundation and Tate announced the 2025 Brooks International Fellowship Programme. This prestigious initiative offers visual arts professionals from around the world a unique opportunity to collaborate with Tate colleagues in London for six months, supported by a residency at Delfina Foundation.
The Brooks International Fellowship Programme, made possible by the Rory and Elizabeth Brooks Foundation, has hosted 14 Fellows from diverse countries, including Argentina, India, and Pakistan, since its inception in 2014.
