Background: 

The International Land and Forest Tenure Facility (The Tenure Facility) is the main global funding mechanism dedicated to advancing the land tenure and territorial governance of Indigenous Peoples, Afro-descendant Peoples, and local communities at scale. Since 2017, we have channelled global funding to these groups, with measurable results — including millions of hectares of pristine forest secured and defended, stronger community governance, and lasting capacity within partner organisations. We advance such outcomes by funding Indigenous, Afro-descendant, and local community partner organisations to assist communities to map and monitor their territories, strengthen governance bodies, develop territorial management plans, and prepare and submit land claims. We also support our partners to improve their strategies and internal systems, hire and train staff, and invest in essential equipment. To scale and improve these efforts, we and our partners document and share lessons learned and engage in multi-stakeholder platforms, policy dialogues, and learning exchanges. Our support is long-term and flexible, delivered through a global portfolio of projects implemented by partner organisations, generating results that are tracked through the ROOTS system.

About Global Artivism 

Global Artivism is a Global Majority-led movement that engages the full power of arts and culture to work toward a just world on a safe planet. 

We are led by those most affected by injustice, particularly from the Global South, ensuring the movement reflects the cultural and demographic reality of the world. We understand art as praxis — an active force capable of mobilizing people, shifting narratives, and reshaping systems. Our cultural work is inseparable from struggles for justice, ecological integrity, and collective liberation. 

The movement connects artists, cultural workers, and activists across regions, building the infrastructure, relationships, and resources for Artivism to lead lasting change. 

Core Principles and Structure 

These principles shape how we work, how we make decisions, and what we ask of everyone who joins us. 

● Global Majority Leadership and South–South Solidarity. 

● Distributed Power and Fluid Leadership. 

● Artists at the Center, Culture as Strategy. 

● Intersectional and Community-Centered. 

● Trust Before Scale. 

● Emergence as Method. 

● Transparency and Accountability. 

Global Artivism is governed by a Global Council representing artists, activists, and movement builders from across regions. The Movement Secretariat is the coordination team that supports the Council operationally.

The Role 

Global Artivism is recruiting six Regional Fellows — one per region — to build and activate regional Artivist ecosystems in support of Global Artivism Month (planned October/November 2026) and the Global Virtual Assembly. Fellows will conduct research on regional artivism landscapes, activate community relationships, and convene regional gatherings that build solidarity and create consistent engagement rhythms. 

Fellows are expected to bring deep community grounding in their region: existing relationships within cultural and activist networks, lived knowledge of the regional artivism landscape, and the capacity to bring people together around shared movement work. Research is a foundation for that work, not the end point. 

The six regional areas are: Asia, Americas and Caribbean, Middle East / West Asia, Africa, Europe, and Oceania / Pacific.

Works closely with	Community and Partnerships Director, Global Artivism Month Specialist, Regional Fellows across other regions, Program staff, coordinators and volunteers

Project Leads Role titles describe functional scope and help people understand what a role does or who to contact. They do not map to decision-making authority, which at Global Artivism is distributed through governance structures, committees, and collaborative processes.

● Ability to work independently and produce structured outputs within defined timeframes. 

● Good written communication in English. Proficiency in the language(s) of your region is a significant asset.

● Interest in cross-regional learning and South-South knowledge exchange.

● Prior engagement with Global Artivism’s community or events.

What We Offer 

● Connection to a global network of Artivists, movement organizers, and cultural changemakers.

About Global Artivism 

Global Artivism is a Global Majority-led movement that engages the full power of arts and culture to work toward a just world on a safe planet. 

We are led by those most affected by injustice, particularly from the Global South, ensuring the movement reflects the cultural and demographic reality of the world. We understand art as praxis — an active force capable of mobilizing people, shifting narratives, and reshaping systems. Our cultural work is inseparable from struggles for justice, ecological integrity, and collective liberation. 

The movement connects artists, cultural workers, and activists across regions, building the infrastructure, relationships, and resources for Artivism to lead lasting change. 

Core Principles and Structure 

These principles shape how we work, how we make decisions, and what we ask of everyone who joins us. 

● Global Majority Leadership and South–South Solidarity. 

● Distributed Power and Fluid Leadership. 

● Artists at the Center, Culture as Strategy. 

● Intersectional and Community-Centered. 

● Trust Before Scale. 

● Emergence as Method. 

● Transparency and Accountability. 

Global Artivism is governed by a Global Council representing artists, activists, and movement builders from across regions. The Movement Secretariat is the coordination team that supports the Council operationally.

The Role 

Global Artivism is recruiting six Regional Fellows — one per region — to build and activate regional Artivist ecosystems in support of Global Artivism Month (planned October/November 2026) and the Global Virtual Assembly. Fellows will conduct research on regional artivism landscapes, activate community relationships, and convene regional gatherings that build solidarity and create consistent engagement rhythms. 

Fellows are expected to bring deep community grounding in their region: existing relationships within cultural and activist networks, lived knowledge of the regional artivism landscape, and the capacity to bring people together around shared movement work. Research is a foundation for that work, not the end point. 

The six regional areas are: Asia, Americas and Caribbean, Middle East / West Asia, Africa, Europe, and Oceania / Pacific.
