co-rd Limited’s director and co-founder, Registered Architect Sean Leonard, is the inaugural recipient of the Tilting Axis/Het Nieuwe Instituut Fellowship.

The fellowship is awarded to one mid-career, established applicant based in the Caribbean, and will include collaborations with The Amsterdam Museum, De Appel, The Black Archives and Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art.

The experience is intended to develop Caribbean-based curatorial, design and artistic realities while facilitating an exchange of knowledge with Dutch cultural organisations.

Sean plans to use the fellowship to expand on one of his practice’s proposals of over a decade ago, addressing the sensitive occupation of the Caroni Swamp in Trinidad.

Congratulations, Sean! You always have our admiration and support.
