The Blue Club is a grassroots media organization that brings marginalized voices to the forefront. Led by an all-women team, their organization strives to pass the mic and amplify the voices of the suppressed who have been deliberately silenced and muffled for generations – specifically the marginalized women from regions of high poverty rates.
The Blue Club was founded in 2015, in a small corner of the largest slum in Chennai.
The Blue Club Media Fellowship For Writers 2020 is a one-of-a-kind opportunity exclusively for Dalit women and Dalit queer writers with minimal or no publication experience to develop their writing skills.
It’s a three-month intensive writing fellowship that aims to identify, mentor and empower emerging, diverse, and intersectional voices in anti-casteist and feminist spaces. Also, the fellowship welcomes complex arguments and refuses to ignore the contradictory and often uncomfortable realities of gender and sexuality amongst ourselves.
Although they believe that language should not be a barrier, owing to some limitations, we are able to conduct the 2020 fellowship, including the application, medium of instruction, and writing assignments only in English.
However, the 2020 Fellowship is designed to accommodate a range of fluency in English among the fellows, as there will be mentoring and workshops building English language skills for media. Therefore, we urge any Dalit woman or Dalit queer person with moderate English skills and a keen interest in the purpose of the 2020 fellowship to apply now
