Anahí Saravia Herrera is Cubitt’s inaugural Civic Fellow 2023-25. This is a new, 2-year salaried fellowship for a cultural worker or artist working at the intersection of art, social justice, and community organising.  As part of Cubitt’s vision for shifting the possibility of what an arts organisation can do, the fellowship aims to support a radical practitioner to explore ways that creative practice and collaboration with communities can productively navigate political struggle and chronic systemic inequities, building towards infrastructures for new realities to unfold.  Welcome Anahi!

Bio:
Anahí Saravia Herrera (she/her) works at the intersection of community organizing, publishing, and cultural work. She is interested in exploring histories of resistance and how we can use creative means to make critical perspectives public. Anahi is physically based in the “west” but as much as possible, creates work situated in the Latinx diaspora, she was born in La Paz, Bolivia.

Currently, Anahi is thinking about how creative spaces can hold political questions and how we can build political alliances through cultural work. She is part of the curatorial-research project peformingborders, through which she works transnationally with artists thinking through borders. Most recently she published the work Encuerpando Resistencia/ Embodying Resistance (August 2023) through which in dialogue with organisers, collectives and artists, she explored embodiment, performance, and feminist activism in Bolivia. She is in collaborationship with Jemima Yong, working along themes of critical art writing, feminist rage, and performative publishing. She actively organizes with feminist migrant-led campaign groups in London.

The Civic Fellowship is supported by Art Fund and Freelands foundation’s A Space to Dream fund.
