Residencies in 2017

This year, we have received 86 applications from all over the world. The project Prague – City of Literature offers six residencies for the year 2017, meaning that each resident stays and creates in Prague for two months.

The committee had a really difficult task to choose only six names from many really good applicants. The final decision is following: James Hopkin from Manchester will stay in Prague in January and February, Nives Vidrih a translator from Ljubljana (also from the UNESCO network of creative cities) will be in Prague in March and April, Portuguese writer José Luís Peixoto will stay in Prague in May and June, a poet Juan Pablo Bertazza will come from Buenos Aires to Prague for July and August. In September and October, Prague – City of Literature will be hosting an Irish writer Michael O'Loughlin, from Dublin, another UNESCO literary city, and the last resident of the year 2017 will be a Ukrainian Oleh Kocarev.
