Shpilman Institute for Photography (The SIP) is a research institute whose
mission is to initiate and support innovative research and artistic production
that advance the understanding of photography and related media. Through its
grant programs, The SIP commissions and sponsors individual and group
research projects that inquire into photography's multiple meanings, functions
and significance. Placing an emphasis on philosophical inquiry, we support
scholarly papers and publications in print and online, conferences, symposia, and
other dissemination events. Art production and collaboration with museums and
other cultural spaces are also within the core activities of the SIP."
