Expressions of Interest: August/September Running Dog Poetry Micro-Residency
22 July, 2020
Deadline: Wednesday 5th August (11:59pm)
Applications are now open to be our August/September Poetry Micro-Resident! RD’s two-month micro-residencies are open to all poets, emerging or established. Previous experience working within the arts writing field is not required.
Our June/July 2020 Poetry Micro-Resident is Nicole Wallace, and you can find all the work of our past poetry residents on our poetry page.
Running Dog will offer five micro-residencies in 2020: February/March, April/May, June/July, August/September, and October/November. Call outs for each residency will take place in the month before they begin.
How does it work?
The micro-residency will be offered to one poet for the duration of two months. During this time, the poet in residence will produce two poems (ideally one per month, but, due to COVID-19, the poet is also able to share both works at the end of the two month period). These two poems will be distributed via Running Dog’s monthly newsletter to our readership.
All poetry micro-residents are paid for their work.
We’re looking for writing that is contemplative, experimental, and above all NEW! The selected poet is encouraged to develop poetry during the residency so your expression of interest is all that’s needed for now.
About Running Dog:
Running Dog is an online arts platform based in Sydney, Australia. We publish weekly articles about exhibitions and events taking place in Sydney and regional New South Wales. Running Dog believes in experimentation, playfulness and rigour in contemporary arts writing, and seeks to privilege nuance and contemplation in debate. We are committed to covering the work of emerging and established artists through circulating regular content about artist run spaces, collectives, commercial galleries, institutions, one-off events and festivals.
Running Dog acknowledges the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, the traditional owners of the land that facilitates the creation of this project. This land was never ceded and was taken by violence. We pay our respects to their elders past and present, and their descendants.
