Cynthia Silveira is the recipient of Film and Video Umbrella’s Curatorial Practice Award, an annual opportunity to support people from low-income backgrounds into curatorial careers by offering them up to £20,000 of funding, desk space, mentoring, and year-long support from the FVU team, to realise an ambitious project of their choosing.

Film and Video Umbrella is the UK’s premier commissioning agency for artists’ moving-image. We aim to act as a safe pair of hands in which artists/curators can experiment with new ways of working and test out new ideas. We work in partnership with galleries, museums and other cultural partners in the UK and internationally to bring the work of artists working in the moving image to the widest possible audience, and we develop events and workshops alongside each of our exhibitions in order to engage new audiences with that work, and broaden its reach.
