What members contribute
Share a small portfolio, work sample, or project idea. Participate through creative work, research, translation, production, distribution, or practical support. Honour commitments, communicate clearly, welcome feedback, and credit collaborators fairly.
What membership offers
Connections with collaborators across Asia; opportunities to pitch and join projects; consideration for suitable paid commissions; peer feedback and skill exchange; opportunities to share work through Karawan’s publications, channels, and events.
How projects work
Ideas are discussed and teams formed around each project. Before work begins, agree on scope, roles, timelines, fees, expenses, ownership, usage rights, and credits. Members respect informed consent, accuracy, cultural context, and the dignity of participants.
Participation and paid work depend on project needs and funding. Membership does not guarantee employment, commissions, publication, accommodation, or travel support. Membership fees and any application process will be communicated before you commit.
