Poet and performer Emma McGordon said she planned to use the residency to “do something a little bit different and get the people, the words and the landscapes, that have been dominant features of my work, on film”.
Azraa Motala, a visual artist said she was “thrilled” to be awarded the funding.
“This will enable me to make work that resonates across various layers of society, hopefully fostering meaningful impact and dialogue.”
Musician Jack McNeill described the selection process as an “emotional ride”.
“My project places Cumbria at the heart of a global drama, from a future just around the corner,” he said.
“Cumbria is a privileged place in so many ways, and one where our collective voices can animate the landscape, ringing for change and empathy.”
