CALL+RESPONSE: WORKSITE

THIS OPEN CALL IS NOW CLOSED! SEE THE PUBLISHED TEXTS IN THE ‘WRITING’ SECTION OF OUR SITE!

Part two of our new commissioned writing programme is here! 🚧🤖⚙️

GENERATOR call + response 2: worksite

‘call+response’ takes the form it says on the tin: for each iteration we put forward a call - with a theme chosen rotationally by our committee - and select 2 to 3 responses to commission and publish on our website. These groupings will hopefully engender a loose and open dialogue around the given theme. We welcome a fluid set of genres or styles of text, whether critical or creative, personal or poetic, mimetic or exegetic, sci-fi, lo-fi, embodied, disembodied, entertainment-only or experimentally obscure.

We are looking for Scotland-based emerging artists/writers to submit. While the published texts are to be of 750 words, we will be accepting proposals of no more than 200 that outline/set the vibe of your planned response. Successful applicants will receive a fee of £150 to produce the work, to be published the following month.

Unfortunately, this opportunity is not open to those currently in education.

To keep things running smoothly, our second theme is 'worksite'.

Be your worksite redundant, synthetic, prophetic, essential, of wasted toil or idyllic potential - we are looking for texts that respond to a kind of graft: to deconstruction, to renewal // to post-work or posthumanism // to progress, to slowness // to virtual realities or places of action. I'd rather stay young, go out and play. It's like that, and that's the way it is.

The deadline for proposals is the 15th of July. Please send these, in a single PDF along with a 1 page CV and no more than 3 samples of existing work, to:
