Chamada aberta: Programa de Residência da Cidade da Literatura de Bucheon

The 2026 Bucheon City of Literature Residency Programme invites writers, poets, translators, and graphic storytellers from UNESCO Cities of Literature outside South Korea to spend four weeks in Bucheon, South Korea. Applicants must have at least one published work and be proficient in English or Korean. The residency, scheduled for November 2026, requires participants to dedicate 80 % of their time to a personal creative project and 20 % to local cultural activities, events, and exchanges. The program provides round‑trip airfare, transportation to and from the airport, and accommodation for approximately one month at the Bucheon Residence. Residents also receive a dedicated coordinator to help plan meetings, events, and cultural activities, and are encouraged to engage with the local literary community and attend at least one local literature or exchange event. The application deadline is 28 August 2026, and the call is open to artists who are affiliated with a UNESCO City of Literature outside South Korea, have a published work, and are willing to produce a short creative work featuring Bucheon. The residency offers a unique environment to develop new work while connecting with Korean readers and the local community.
