Call for Applications: BalkanStoryMap Fellowship 2026

The application period for the BalkanStoryMap Fellowship Programme will remain open until 30.06.2026.

The programme will last four months, beginning in July, and will provide mentoring and editorial support for 10 young individuals focusing on research and writing. Training, mentorship, and editorial sessions will take place in Prishtina.

This year's fellowship focuses on architecture constructed in Kosovo during the second half of the twentieth century. Participants are invited to investigate a single building.

We welcome proposals engaging with a wide range of building typologies, including schools, hospitals, factories, hotels, housing estates, cultural centres, administrative institutions, etc. Through the study of a single building, fellows are encouraged to explore its architectural expression, typology, transformation, and contemporary significance, while situating it within the broader social, political, economic, and spatial conditions that shaped its emergence.
