Forge Project | Confluence: Indigenous Art Criticism Residency

Deadline: April 25th

Confluence is a fully funded art criticism residency that brings together six Indigenous writers for two weeks of workshops, reflection, and collaboration to support them in their creative practice at any stage in their career.

Participants in this residency will develop ideas and texts in kinship with an international roster of guest faculty belonging to Indigenous nations in North America and the Great Ocean. Taking place at Forge Project, located in the unceded homelands of the Moh-He-Con-Nuck (People of the Waters that are Never Still) in upstate New York, this is conceived as a retreat for emerging and established Indigenous art historians, critics, curators, and poets.

Confluence offers fully funded travel, meals, and lodging for both faculty and residents, minimizing barriers to access, with the intention of shaping a cohort that represents writers in varied stages of their careers.
