Creative in Residence

To decentralize is to question who has the right to speak and for whom. To decentralize is to propel alternate perspectives on what is considered standard, original, and authentic. To decentralize is to understand the art of collaboration, of shared knowledge, and the necessity to study the hidden and the overlooked.

This program focuses on the contexts and experiences of those hailing from the globalizing souths, whose (enforced and voluntary) migratory experiences have forged transoceanic alliances of exchange and knowledge in the aftermath of colonial violence. The program endeavors to prompt critical encounters with disparate cultural memories, with the hope of challenging the assumptions of our systematized social worlds, whose realities are fashioned by hegemonic economies and histories bound to nation-building.

Inviting a range of creative thinkers—writers, artists, curators, collectors, theorists, social scientists, musicians, architects, filmmakers, and more—this program asks that residents engage our local community through their research. Through talks, screenings, seminars, workshops, music nights, or live conversations, residents are expected to spend time inspiring others rather than producing new work.

Our ‘Creative in Residence’ program is an invitation-only initiative. However, we will consider funded proposals that engage with the goals of the program and are aligned with in-tangible’s values.
