The City Culture Institute is seeking translators from Poland, authors from Belarus and Ukraine, and cultural researchers (working on a project related to Maria Janion) for a literary residency programme based in Gdańsk. The residency will support four persons with a four-week stay in the city.
The ‘Literary Residencies’ programme is organised in cooperation with Kraków (Kraków Festival Office), Warsaw (Staromiejski Dom Kultury), the Literary Union and the Polish Literary Translators Association.
Residents will be provided with an apartment, expert and logistics support, a monthly fee of up to PLN 3000 gross (~630 EUR), and reimbursement of travel costs. The guests will also take part in City Culture Institute’s literary activities.
Residencies in Gdańsk are an opportunity to spend a few weeks in the city on creative work and get to know the local art scene. The applications will be assessed by a committee with members from the City Culture Institute, Literary Union and Polish Literary Translators Association.
