Short Description
Marble House will host a residency focused on ecology called: Making Kin.
Ecology consists of the Greek roots oikos meaning home and logos meaning language, which yields a literal translation of the “language of home.” How do we expand that idea of home and who lives there with us? How do we speak to them? How do they speak back? What are the limits of our ability to understand and communicate with these others? These questions around kin can be reflections on what we habitually consider the natural (i.e. non-human) world; but they can equally apply to relations among humans in a social ecology.
Eligibility
This residency is open to artists and writers but also cultural producers, thinkers and doers of all stripes: journalists, chefs, craftspeople, scientists, activists, healers, architects, planners, NGO leaders, farmers, and other cultural practitioners whose work blurs boundaries and builds bridges—between disciplines, between species, and across social and ecological systems.
Marble House Project accepts approximately 60 residents and is open to artists living in the United States and abroad. You must be at least 21 years old. Each session accommodates eight artists and is specifically curated to bring together a diverse group of creative workers, to maximize potential for collaboration and dialogue while in residence and beyond.
