$1,500/Month + Morocco Summit: Join the Plumia Fellowship to Shape the Internet's Future

## What Does It Mean to Be a Citizen of the Internet — Not Just a User? We've spent decades moving our lives online — work, friendships, love, family calls. What if we started seeing the internet not just as a tool, but as a **place**? A city, a village, a homeland made of servers but lived in by all of us. The internet is the biggest piece of shared infrastructure humans have ever built. So far we're still squatting in it like renters, not residents. What if we treated it like home? What would we fix? Protect? Invent that's never been tried? ## The Plumia Fellowship A **3-month programme** for writers, artists, researchers, musicians and technologists ready to help shape the foundations of a civilisation that lives online. **What you get:** - **$1,500/month stipend** for 3 months - A **fully-covered summit in Morocco** at the end of the programme - A cohort of fellow imaginers and builders - Editorial, artistic and research support to ship your project **What you give:** - A serious project — essay, art series, research, song cycle, prototype — that helps the world see the internet as a place - Active participation in the cohort - Showing up at the Morocco summit ready to share your work ## Who Should Apply - Writers wrestling with what online citizenship actually means - Artists translating the internet's strange new geographies into images, sound, film - Researchers studying network states, digital rights, online communities - Designers and technologists prototyping the institutions of digital civilisation - Anyone who reads "the internet is a place" and immediately has 10 ideas ## How to Apply Applications are open via Plumia. The deadline and link are on plumia.com — submit a project proposal (1 page), a sample of past work, and a short statement of why this matters to you. Not everyone gets in. The ones who do tend to share one trait: they're not waiting for permission. ## Why It Matters The internet was built by accident, by people who didn't fully realise what they were building. The next era of the internet won't be built by accident. Plumia exists to make sure the people building it are the ones who care most about what it could become — for everyone, everywhere, for the long term. If that sounds like you, go apply.
