Please join us Friday, August 30 for a screening and artist talk from 2022 Cassilhaus Travel Fellow and MFA|EDA alumna Felicity Palma.

Created with the idea that travel can be transformative in the life of an emerging artist, the grant offers a singular opportunity to broaden artistic and cultural experience beyond the traditional educational environment. The biennial $10,000 fellowship, funded by Cassilhaus founders Ellen Cassilly and Frank Konhaus, supports Duke University MFAEDA graduates for an eighteen-month period in their artistic research and practice post MFA. With her Cassilhaus Travel Fellowship, Felicity Palma traveled to Puglia, Italy, to work on a restaging of Kathy Acker's Orphic myth. Palma also conducted research at The Sallie Bingham Center for Women's History and Culture through a residency at Duke's Rubenstein Library, working with texts by Kathy Acker and Eve Sedgwick. While back at Duke, Felicity will also be visiting classes and will join as guest respondent at the August 30 MFAEDA critique.
