RÉSIDENCES littérature
on the proposal of partner structures / a jury
Two literary residencies are offered each year, from March to May and from August to November. Organized with partners, they include the provision of accommodation away from noise pollution, a living allowance and are punctuated by meetings with the public.
neimënster also wishes to create intercultural synergies by developing a translation residency that will host authors and translators over several months. This residency will put translation, particularly in sign language, at the service of the arts and will focus on poetry and theater.
