Following an international search, the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology, Harvard University, is pleased to announce the selection of Munem Wasif as the 2023 Robert Gardner Fellow in Photography. The fellowship provides a $50,000 stipend to begin or complete a proposed project followed by the publication of a book.
