LIMINAL x Hyphenated Projects Writing Fellowship
Hyphenated Projects partners with LIMINAL for our inaugural
2020 Writing Fellowship.
The LIMINAL x Hyphenated Projects 2020 Writing Fellowship offers an emerging Asian-Australian writer the opportunity to complete a week-long residency at Hyphenated Projects, along with four paid writing outcomes featuring interviews with Hyphenated Projects artists-in-residence, to be published by LIMINAL throughout 2020.
Applications for the 2020 Writing Fellowship will be open from February 7 – February 21, and our 2020 Fellow will be announced early March.
Application Guidelines
The 2020 LIMINAL x HYPHENATED PROJECTS Writing Fellowship will be awarded on the strength and merit of application, by a panel of LIMINAL & Hyphenated Projects staff.
The successful fellow will receive a week-long residency at Hyphenated Projects. Hyphenated Projects offers a space for development and experimentation from artists working in transcultural contexts. Located in Sunshine West, Victoria, the residency offers artists, writers and producers 24/7 access to a studio space within a residence that includes a full kitchen, bathroom, outdoor space and laundry.
We welcome applications from interstate or even overseas! But please note that this fellowship does not cover travel costs.
The dates of the writing residency will be chosen in consultation with the 2020 Writing Fellow.
The successful writer will also interview four fellow Hyphenated Projects resident artists for LIMINAL throughout 2020, receiving a total of $500 for their four publication outcomes.
We welcome applications from writers of all genres. In regards to the four interviews, a background in journalism or interviewing is not necessary; we are simply keen to work with curious minds and excitable writers; if you work with words, we’d like to work with you.
We invite you to apply if you identify as an Asian-Australian writer. This fellowship is a small attempt to subvert the structural racism prevalent in the arts. If you send us an email asking why ‘white’ isn’t a colour, or demand that ‘Australia is part of Asia so as a white Australian you must be Asian’, it’s really just a waste of your time. Please read Robin DiAngelo’s White Fragility.
The selection panel’s decision is final.
