Krista Caballero, codirector of the Center for Experimental Humanities and artist in residence at Bard, has been announced as a recipient of a 2024 Traveling Fellows grant for $10,000 from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts (SMFA) at Tufts University. The SMFA Fellowship program, which has been in place since 1899, supports fellows to journey to places around the world to conduct research and find inspiration for their artistic endeavors. Caballero will travel to Colombia, home to the greatest number of bird species in the world, to create work focused on the ecological and cultural implications of bird species decline for her project “Birding the Future,” an ongoing collaborative work with Frank Ekeberg that explores current extinction rates by specifically focusing on the warning abilities of birds as bioindicators of environmental change.
