The Cultural Programme at the Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities invites proposals from humanities academics for short-duration, research-led exhibitions and cultural activities in the new White-Box space at the Schwarzman Centre during Hilary Term 2027.
We are seeking proposals for exhibitions or installations lasting between 1 day and 1 month. Each project will be led by the researcher, with project management support from the Cultural Programme team and support from REF and Impact teams.
We particularly welcome interdisciplinary proposals, including collaborations with colleagues beyond the humanities.
A modest production budget is available, with an average spend likely to be £10,000 per project.
TO APPLY
Proposals should be submitted via the Cultural Programme Open Call before the Hilary Term 2026 deadline.
