The School for Advanced Research (SAR) is pleased to announce the new Campbell Fellowship for Women Scholar-Practitioners from Developing Nations, made possible with a generous three-year grant from new SAR board member Vera R. Campbell’s family foundation.
The Campbell Fellowship will support a female social scientist from a developing nation, either pre- or post-doctoral, whose work addresses women’s economic and social empowerment in that nation. The goal of the fellowship is twofold: to advance the scholarly careers of women social scientists from the developing world, and to support research that identifies causes of gender inequity in the developing world and that proposes practical solutions for promoting women’s economic and social empowerment.
In addition to a stipend, and housing and office space on the SAR campus, the Campbell Fellow receives travel, shipping, and library resource funds; health insurance; and the support of a mentoring committee of established scholar-practitioners. The fellowship term will start on September 1, 2010 and run through February 28, 2011. The application deadline is November 1, 2009. Application instructions are available in the website’s Resident Scholar Fellowship section.

Enjoy Public Art Gallery is currently seeking proposals from artists and curators for our 2010 Summer Residency. The residency has been part of Enjoy’s programme since 2001, and it is designed to assist practitioners develop a significant new project, through research and critical discourse in a stimulating and supportive environment. This residency will mark Enjoy’s 10th Anniversary.
The 2010 Residency is a free-form opportunity for a practitioner to spend four weeks in Wellington, to research and develop a new and experimental body of work. The residency does not need to take the form of an exhibition.
The residency provides practitioners with the opportunity to work from Enjoy, and utilise the gallery as a studio or research space. It is our hope that during the residency the gallery will also provide a place of discussion and interaction with social or critical networks, the gallery’s staff and community.
Maintaining a critical platform for the development of the project is an integral part of the residency. The successful applicant will be asked to present a public seminar or workshop relating to their particular research process or project. This could involve another professional artist or other specialist practitioner relevant to the resident’s research process.
Throughout the residency the practitioner/s will receive curatorial and administrative support from Enjoy.
Some past Enjoy Summer Residencies include Kate Montgomery and Hamish Win, Eve Armstrong, Liz Allan, and Laura Preston.
Proposals should contain sufficient information to communicate the concepts behind the project. Documentation of past projects is desirable. We offer a modest practitioner fee and materials fee for the residency, subject to budgets.
Residency dates: 28 January – 27 February 2010
Proposals due Wednesday 28 October 2009
If you would like any further information regarding submitting a proposal, please contact the Gallery Manager & Curator, Siv B. Fjærestad, siv@enjoy.org.nz

Vaka Niue- By the Teenage Sons of Nukututaha is an exhibition displaying vakas (canoes) carved by 16 New Zealand-born Niuean teenagers.
The work was produced in a series of Niuean vaka workshops and will be displayed at Artstation from Wednesday, 30 September to Saturday, 10 October.
The vakas were made under the guidance of two master carvers, Masini Tukuniu and Muiakitau Talauta. The workshops and exhibition were aimed at Niuean youth, to teach them about their cultural heritage and the traditions of Niue.
Organiser Zora Feilo hopes that the young men will appreciate learning new carving skills and reconnect with their Niuean history and culture by realising the significance of the vaka to Niuean people..
“The vaka is still a very important part of Niuean culture from the past to the present, as it was a vessel of migration and a tool to feed families,” she says.
The exhibition coincides with Niuean Constitution Day, Pule Fakamotu, and will also include artworks by nine Niuean artists.

Vaka Niue is proudly funded by Auckland City Council’s Creative Communities scheme, a partnership between Creative New Zealand and Auckland City Council.
