It offers the artist, upon establishing [or rejecting] this relationship with land to embody this knowledge through art-making. The artist’s body becomes the site [or even sight] for much contemplation.\nThe residency has been set up to provide a group 8 of creative young socially engaged residents of the Eastern Cape the opportunity to take their work, in whatever media, to a new level while engaging with the history, natural resources and body/land politics of the Tyhume Valley. The area was centre stage for the Frontier Wars, Ciskei control, home to the University of Fort Hare and now the black intellectual renaissance of Lovedale Press in relation to contemporary expression. The 14-day residency will take place in late October to early November 2020 and will seek to engage artistic possibilities within the Tyhume Valley community.\nThe selected participants will be immersed in a 12-day high-octane group incubator that begins with an overnight excursion and camp exploring the layers of land and heritage embodied in the Tyhume Valley and the broader Amathole area. The group will return to the residency base at the Hunterstoun Centre in Hogsback and begin a creative programme under the mentorship of Eastern Cape artist Athi-Patra Ruga. He will be challenging the young artists within the theme of Bodyland. This will be explored through the exchange of ideas during the daily group activities and facilitated by important contemporary artists, activists and elders. The Hunterstoun Centre is involved in research into local land justice issues and Eastern Cape Intellectual Heritage. Participants will be encouraged to consider exploring these themes while in residence.\nAPPLICATION PROCESS\nPlease include in your application :\n\nA written proposal for residency application (no more than 1 500 words), which clearly states the following:\na) A short overview of your creative activities and what you are working on at present\nb) What you would hope to achieve during your residency\nc) An indication of preliminary ideas about a performance/ public engagement activity proposed during your day\nd) Any special interest you may have in linking with the local community or other groups/organisations during your stay.\nAn up-to-date CV or Artist’s Statement/ Biography (no more than 2 pages)\nA maximum of 6 images and/or 4 video/ audio or Instagram links/ written relevant work.
