ISLAA is delighted to announce the summer 2023 Writer in Residence call for proposals. For the first time since this program’s founding in 2018, ISLAA issues an open call for proposals to prospective participants. We invite all emerging and established researchers, including students, faculty, and independent scholars, located globally to apply.
The Writer in Residence program offers a “first look” into newly processed primary sources and provides the opportunity for research on exceptional artists and movements from postwar and contemporary Latin American art.
This summer, selected Writers in Residence will work remotely to explore materials from one of three fully digitized collections from the ISLAA Library and Archives: the Manuel Herreros de Lemos and Mateo Manaure Arilla Collection, a collection of selected artist’s books by Anna Bella Geiger, and “El Dibujazo” Collection. Residents will produce an essay based on their selected digital collection, and in alignment with their own research interests and expertise. Each grant recipient will be awarded 2,000 USD in recognition of these research and writing endeavors.
