Deadline: July 17, 2018
China Residencies invites applicationsfor the fifth edition of the Crystal Ruth Bell Residency – a fully-funded two month residency at Red Gate in Beijing for the months of November and December 2018. They are looking for projects that nourish communities in ways that push back against, work through, and build upon our food complex systems through a commitment to creative inquiry.
People of all types of creative practices, of all passports, ages, gender-identities, abilities, and interests are invited to send proposals for projects to pursue in Beijing this winter around the verb “nourish” – in any way the word makes sense to them. Whether you are a farmer, a cook, an artist, a food scientist, a culinary critic or historian, a guerrilla gardener, ethnographer, nomadic food truck entrepreneur, a writer, a poet, dancer, filmmaker, photographer, journalist, urban planner, nutritionist, or any other kind of creative person whose work involves food in some way, the organisers welcome your proposals for a fully-funded two month residency at Red Gate Residency this winter.
