Residency Statement
My residency seeks to engage creative minds from all walks of life who are interested in exploring creative ways to address issues facing the built environment. An ideal situation will be to have artists, architects, activists, social and environmental workers, developers, politicians, etc., all in discussion about potential solutions to problems we face as a society. There are many case studies I would explore with participants but also open to examples that may come from the participants. The structure will be in a workshop format where all participants are expected to participate on an equal level.
Application Requirements
Applicants should submit a general statement of not more than 500 words of their interest in issues facing the built environment. Applicants should also submit digital examples of their work or work they are interested in that provide insight into the topic. Not more than 25 digital slides and/or 10 minutes of video. All applicants should include a brief bio with their application.
