CAH’s artist/writer in residency program invites an artist or writer from the region to AUB for a period of two to four weeks. The artist/writer will bring new perspectives to CAH’s current research clusters. They will also enhance AUB’s art and creative writing programs and enrich exchange and collaboration between artists/writers and academics across the disciplines. The residency will support the artist/writer in pursuing their own projects closely related to CAH’s current research clusters, providing them with an institutional home at AUB. In turn, the artist/writer will offer a public talk, reading, or workshop organized by CAH in collaboration with other academic units across AUB and engage with AUB faculty and students. The artist/writer in residency program aims to give more visibility and vigor to the arts and humanities across AUB and their creative and critical role in shaping our lives past, present, and future.
