Writing residencies are transformative settings for artistic inspiration and development, no matter where they are or what you’re writing.
Kathryn Nuernberger and
Mita Mahato, both writers with multiple residencies under their belts, will share work made in response to their experiences with The Arctic Circle, a small vessel voyage residency program in the Norwegian Arctic of Svalbard. Their conversation will touch on the benefits of the residency for their own work, how it impacted their writing processes, and the surprising lessons they learned along the way. Kathryn Nuernberger’s work often explores the complications of family and loss., Mita Mahato’s work centers ecosystemic death and renewal, and both writers are deeply interested in climate change and salvaging something new out of what has been discarded. This conversation will be moderated by festival author
Margaret Albaugh.*This event is virtual and will premiere on our
YouTube channel at the time scheduled above.
