The 2023 Soros Arts Fellows, a group of 18 artists, aim to address climate change through public art projects, receiving $100,000 each from the Open Society Foundations. Palestinian artist Nida Sinnokrot believes art is essential for resilience in times of crisis. The fellows’ diverse projects include remediation efforts in Detroit and community-based initiatives in South Africa. Despite geopolitical challenges, these artists view their work as transformative and essential for social change. The Soros Arts Fellowship, established in 2018, has become a platform for artists seeking to create impactful, direct-action projects addressing global challenges.
