Residenza intensiva di scrittura "Futurisms"

Banff Centre’s Futurisms Intensive Writing Residency provides writers with dedicated time and space to explore speculative, scientific, and decolonial futures. The two‑week, self‑directed program runs from 15 February to 26 February 2027 in Banff, Alberta, Canada, and includes individual accommodation, a private studio, a meal‑plan credit, and access to campus facilities such as the library, fitness centre, and swimming pool. Participants can engage in optional mentorship sessions, thematic teachings, Q&A panels, and public readings with faculty members Joshua Whitehead, Sheree Renée Thomas, Nalo Hopkinson, and guest Dr. Jenna Butler. The residency welcomes domestic and international writers aged 18 and over, provided they have not attended a Banff Centre residency in the past year and are not current faculty of other Banff Centre programs. Applications are submitted online with a non‑refundable fee of CAD 65 (CAD 35 for Indigenous applicants) and must include a resume, cover letter, project proposal, and a sample of the work‑in‑progress. Scholarships are available to offset tuition, accommodation, and meal costs. The deadline for applications is 19 August 2026 (11:59 p.m. MST).
