Descripción del Premio
3-12 August 2016
Deadline for applications: 17 June 2016
For the first time, Liverpool Biennial and The University of Liverpool's Centre for New and International Writing are working together to present an international summer school.
Liverpool Biennial Summer Sessions is a ten-day transdisciplinary programme for artists, writers, curators, academics and arts practitioners, on the theme of portals: time-travel, alternate/parallel universes, migration, and interdisciplinary connections between different practices.
Through a series of dynamic sessions, workshops and walking tours of the city, participants will explore a range of art, literature and theory focusing on the broad concept of portals. Participants will engage with Liverpool Biennial 2016's overarching structure, in which a story is narrated as a series of concurrent episodes across the city, and the Centre for New and International Writing's research into global literatures and formal innovation.
The summer school faculty includes the poet, cultural theorist and curator Ranjit Hoskote; literary critic David Hering; artists Lucy Beech and Samson Kambalu; poets/critics Juliana Spahr, Sandeep Parmar and Deryn Rees-Jones; and other members of Liverpool Biennial's curatorial faculty for 2016.
The programme offers a supportive and creative environment designed to inspire new ideas and develop existing ones.
The full programme will be confirmed in early June.
