Ifeoma Ebo, DK Osseo-Asare, AD-WO, Selina Martinez, and Maya Bird-Murphy are the Architecture & Design USA Fellows for 2024

A group of six architects and designers was announced today for inclusion in the prestigious United States Artists Fellowship cohort for 2024. Each will receive a $50,000 cash grant to be used at their discretion in recognition of their socially engaged and community-driven pursuits. This year's program was noted for its interdisciplinary approach, with many artists reaching outside their field to affect change in other areas, such as law, policy, and healthcare, that are equally vital to building a just and prosperous society.The five Architecture and Design Fellows are: Ifeoma Ebo, Selina Martinez, Maya Bird-Murphy, DK Osseo-Asare, and AD-WO (Emanuel Admassu and Jen Wood). Recipients in the other nine creative categories this year hailed from 22 different states and Puerto Rico and ranged in age from their early 20s to late 80s. The USA Fellows program says all are “united in their understanding of space and design as an integral foundation for social justice and community building.” The program has now awarded more than $38 million nationwide since 2006.This year’s Architecture and Design Fellows join a list of previous recipients that includes Theaster Gates, Germane Barnes, Nina Cooke John, Mabel O. Wilson, and Deanna Van Buren. Subjects covered in their work include bioclimatic design, placemaking, and the role of craft traditions in architecture. More information about the 2024 Fellows:Ifeoma EboRead the full post on Bustler
