Your voice.
Our next chapter.

Bring a perspective, a skill, or an idea you want to make real. Emerging and established creators are welcome.

01

Who can join

Filmmakers, photographers, writers, journalists, designers, sound artists, translators, researchers, and emerging storytellers with a meaningful connection to Asia through residence, heritage, lived experience, or sustained work.

02

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.

03

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.

04

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.
