The Graham Foundation announced the award of 54 new grants. The award-winning, innovative projects are led by eminent and emerging architects, artists, curators, filmmakers, historians, and scholars, among others.
The new grantees join a worldwide network of individuals and organizations that the Graham Foundation has supported over the past 63 years. In that time, the Foundation has awarded more than 4,600 grants in its role as one of the most significant funders in the field of architecture.
Victor Deupi, (co-editor, with Jean Francois Lejeune) shared, “We are honored to be a part of this project and dedicate it to the generation of modern Cuban architects and their families who have been so supportive throughout the process”.
