Group Residency Programme Italy Place, People and Time: WRITING with PLACE

Foundation / private collection · Naples, Italy · 10 programs

WRITING with PLACE will be led by Tracy, Elizabeth and Amanda who share a passion for writing, and the design, production, publishing and dissemination of printed matter and digital publications. Between us we activate diverse skills and expertise when we employ text, language, writing, publishing and performative modes of working to investigate place(making), (un)belonging, loss, renewal, memory, (personal)narratives and imaginary futures.

The aim of the Group Residency is to develop 'writing' and approaches to 'writing' that are experimental, inventive in their form, and that respond to place, in a specific environment. Bringing together residents from a range of areas of practice and research, the potential to create an international network is made possible.

'Writing' is understood as creative and critical, and situated writing as an area of practice in its most expanded sense. In other words, writing that is experimental, inventive in its form, and responds to place.

We welcome applications from people working in creative practices, research, writing, poetry, performance, scenography, education etc. and for those who have a strong interest in 'writing' as an area of practice. The group will comprise of approx. nine participants.
