About This Opportunity

“Futurisms — creative exploration of the future, from the fantastical, to the scientific, to the decolonial”

Banff Centre's Futurisms Intensive Writing Residency provides writers space for the creative exploration of the future, from the fantastical, to the scientific, to the decolonial. This self-directed residency offers the prospect to work away from the constraints of everyday life, delve deep into your creative project, and take advantage of the community of artistic peers around you.

During this intensive program, you'll have optional opportunities for consultations and group sessions with mentors Dr.

Joshua

Whitehead, Sheree Renee Thomas, and Nalo Hopkinson, and professional guest Dr.

Jenna

Butler (Barbour Books) to explore techniques, aspects, and devices that you may find useful in your practice.



You'll also have the opportunity to showcase your work in public readings at Banff Centre's CLVB '33.

Futurisms Intensive Writing Residency runs concurrently with programs in Indigenous Arts and Visual Arts exploring related concepts. Cross-disciplinary learning and exchange is encouraged.

This two-week self-directed residency provides participants with individual accommodation and a small private studio for writers to focus, reconnect, and re-energize their writing practice. The residency is designed to cater to emerging and established writers with a proven publication record seeking a period of dedicated time to work on a project.

Scholarships are available.
