Sarai launched an online repository of its distributed research network

Sarai is delighted to launch an online repository of its  Distributed Research Network. This repository collates information on various fellowships that Sarai has hosted over the years, including primary fellowship materials and holdings. Since 2000 onwards Sarai has supported Independent Fellowships, Student Stipendships, City as Studio fellows, FLOSS fellowships, Residencies, Social and Digital Media Fellowships, and Capture All Fellows . These together have formed part of Sarai’s distributed research network. It has nurtured a community of independent scholars, researchers, practitioners, and activists by fostering interdisciplinary contexts for critical practice and thought. This model of distributed research  has yielded critical books, articles, graphic novels, art installations, performances, and software programmes.  Over 400 individuals and collectives have been supported by the Sarai distributed research model over the last two decades. This rich history goes back to the fluid network architecture of the early internet before the emergence of media platforms. The release of the ‘Distributed Research Network’ repository on the website is meant to map, manifest and reactivate the rich legacy of this research model.
