At Inkstick we put all our energy into providing a human look at our life amid endless war. We are interested in how the biggest global security questions and problems play out in our lives.
A couple of years ago with Bombshelltoe Policy x Arts Collective, Inkstick dreamed up the Creative Capsule Residency [ [link removed] ], an eight-month program for artists, journalists, academics, and other thought leaders to dive into long-term creative projects that probe the human impacts of global security issues at the local level.
The Creative Capsule Residency offers resources, training, investment, personalized mentorship, and a spotlight for long-term creative projects, supporting deep thinking, and the application of artistic problem-solving to today’s most pressing issues.
In its first two cycles, CCR funded 10 creative projects in 12 countries.
Jennifer Huxta [ [link removed] ] produced creative nonfiction and collage illustrations about the spread of counterfeit medications in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Hunter Williamson and Hantong Wu [ [link removed] ] published a multimedia long-form narrative about how “great power” politics (the US, Russia, and China) manifest in the lives of people living in Middle Eastern countries like Lebanon and Syria.
Dr. Chantell Murphy prepared a treatment for a forthcoming documentary on the intersection of the climbing and outdoor community and contaminated nuclear landscapes in the US state of New Mexico.
Susan Aboeid and Sumaya Tabbah curated a virtual exhibition, “A Prison, a Prisoner, and a Prison Guard” [ [link removed] ] exploring carcerality in the MENA Region with the MENA Prison Forum.
Whit Montgomery produced Alpine Meadows [ [link removed] ], a painting series using satire to interrogate paranoia and defense in nuclear narratives.
Isa Arriola produced “The Little Book of Pentagon Words in the Pacific [ [link removed] ],” a community guide about militarized language in her home in the Mariana Islands.
And much more.
We are currently fundraising to continue the program, and for the last days of 2024 any donation you make will be doubled by NewsMatch. Donations are tax deductible.
Will you please help?
We wish you a human, creative, and peaceful new year.
