Gdańsk

The City Culture Institute organizes a literary residency program in Gdańsk, aimed at translators from Poland, authors from Belarus and Ukraine, as well as cultural researchers. The Literary Residency Program is carried out in collaboration with Kraków (Krakow Festival Office) and Warsaw (Staromiejski Dom Kultury), as well as the Literary Union and the Polish Literary Translators’ Association.

Residents participating in the program are provided with an apartment in Gdańsk, substantive and logistical support, and an honorarium of up to 4,400 PLN gross per month. Guests are also included in the literary activities of the City Culture Institute. The residencies in Gdańsk offer the opportunity to spend several weeks in the city working on creative projects and getting to know the local artistic community. Residents are selected from submitted applications by a committee comprising representatives of the City Culture Institute, the Literary Union, and the Polish Literary Translators’ Association.
