Mumbai–based artist Prajakta Potnis was named the second recipient of the Loewe Foundation / Studio Voltaire Award international artist residency.
Along with a year-long studio space at London’s Studio Voltaire, the prize comes with a £25,000 ($32,522) stipend for accommodations and living costs, a production and travel budget, and a professional development program.
The award was started in 2021 with the intention of highlighting “creative thinking and individuality within contemporary art practice” while also working “to increase and strengthen equitable representation and access, and amplify artistic voices across class, race, gender, sexuality and disability.”
