The Liminal Residency is an alternative writers’ retreat which takes place in a range of neglected and unusual spaces, from service stations to theme parks to the terminals of international airports. Residents participate in workshops, share experiences, and work together to create and publish a unique pamphlet about their location.
Most ordinary retreats and residencies depend on isolation and the removal of distractions. The Liminal Residency depends on lived experience, random chance and shared adventure to inspire the creation of something unique and worthwhile. It combines the best elements of a game jam, a traditional writers’ retreat, and a roadtrip.
