Marjorie Antonio, HiLS Student, Named Inaugural Arts for All Fellow

Antonio to Investigate Transnational Arts Activism

Marjorie Justine Antonio, MA student in the History and Library and Information Science (HiLS) program, has been named a fellow who will receive funding from Arts for All through its inaugural Faculty and Graduate Student Fellowship. Ten faculty members and five graduate students received a total of $112,500 in awards for 2024–25. Marjorie will investigate transnational Filipino arts activism in the DC-Maryland-Virginia area through the lenses of historical inquiry, community archiving and open-source intelligence. A formal academic paper will build up to a Master’s thesis, arts programming such as community archiving workshops, and community discussion and teach-ins about activist security.
