Overview
The Fulbright-Creative New Zealand Pacific Writers’ Residency at the University of Hawai‘i was set up in 2004 by the Arts Board of Creative New Zealand in partnership with Fulbright New Zealand to provide an opportunity for a New Zealand writer of Pacific heritage to work on a project exploring Pacific identity, culture or history.
The residency will run for three months from August to November 2010, and will provide NZ$3,000 for a return airfare to Hawai‘i, rental accommodation costs of NZ$3,000 per month, a stipend of NZ$6,000 per month and basic health insurance cover.
Applications close 1 April 2010
Why Hawaii?
Hawai‘i has been identified as a strategic location for artists and for Pacific writing, with numerous universities, library resources, networks, writers’ forums and publishers. It is also an important link to mainland United States and has a flourishing indigenous culture. The resident is hosted by the Center for Pacific Islands Studies at the University of Hawaii, Mänoa campus.
Aims
The primary aim is for the writer to work on an approved project at the University of Hawai‘i. The writer is also actively encouraged to make use of the strategic benefits of the residency, which may include any of the following:
• the impact of a new physical environment on the writer’s work;
• the cross-fertilisation of ideas resulting from mixing with residents of another culture;
• professional development opportunities: e.g. invitations to give lectures and interviews; making contacts with suitable agents and publishers;
• contributing to the development of New Zealand Pacific literature; or
• creating links with Hawai‘ian writers, academics and local communities.
Objectives
By the end of the residency, the writer will be expected to have completed a significant amount of writing, as described in the application, and should be able to demonstrate tangible benefits to New Zealand Pacific literature.
A final signed report following the residency must be provided by within one month of your return to New Zealand. This report will contribute to an important resource for Creative New Zealand and Fulbright New Zealand, and will help build a picture of what this residency is achieving.
