Eligibility:

Thursday 28th October to Friday 10th December 2021 (Weekly on Fridays at 14.00)

Theme

This residency will take place on-line.

The theme Supernatural Women opens up questions of culture, history, legend, politics, femininity and womanhood. Participants may decide to focus only on a tiny segment of the theme for their work. For example, they might focus on just one woman. Or, they might look at a group of supernatural women. They may opt not to focus on specific women, but on a female element of the supernatural that is widely known, or that could be invented by the artist.

The content of discussions during the residency will be determined by the work undertaken by participants. Some participants might plan to produce deeply conceptual work. For others the process will be more practical. Others will work on a mixture of both.

Some of the questions that may arise for those incorporating supernatural women into their art practice:

Where did the stories of these women originate?

Who created supernatural narratives for women, and what was their purpose in doing so?

How do supernatural women relate to real women, in the past, present and future?

What are supernatural women made from? What shape, material, texture, colour and scale do they have? How do they sound and smell?
