"The 2025 MacArthur Fellows expand the boundaries of knowledge,
artistry, and human understanding. They focus our attention on
microbial worlds and distant stars, community vitality and timeless
traditions, sacred and improvisational music, and shared histories of
our time on Earth. With virtuosity, persistence, and courage, they
chart new paths toward collaborative, creative, and flourishing
futures."

--Kristen Mack
Vice President, Communications, MacArthur Fellows, and Partnerships
