Applications due: 27 May 2025

Consistent with our commitment to create an inclusive community of scholars and artists interested in surrealism, the ISSS has instituted a modest travel fund to support eligible ISSS members in need for financial assistance to attend the 2025 ISSS Conference in Bogotá, Colombia.

To be eligible, you must be a current member of the ISSS (link below), have a paper/presentation accepted at the conference, and be one of the following: a graduate student, an independent scholar, an artist, or a junior scholar, with limited or no funding. Every year, depending on the location, we prioritise applications coming from outside the location where the conference is taking place – i.e. this year, for those applying from outside Latin America. We will be awarding 4 awards of $500 towards travel this year.

If you fulfill the eligibility criteria please submit to Terri Geis tlg9396@nyu.edu an application for funding by May 27th and include the following information:
