Queer residency Seyðisfjörður is a residency and cultural exchange for LGBTQIA+ artists and activists in Seyðisfjörður, Iceland
They are excited to invite practitioners who are thinking/ dreaming/ making/ planning/ exploring/ playing at the intersection of LGBTQIA+ experience and kinship to join us for a 6 week residency in Seyðisfjörður, Iceland.

The residency is open to artists, activists, researchers, careworkers, scientists, teachers, dancers, writers, parents, nannies, filmmakers… to develop their praxis and explore the co-creation of a temporal family in the East fjords of Iceland. Seyðisfjörður, is a small town in the east of Iceland, known for its vibrant artistic community, mountains and enduring spirit

Family can mean so many different things, and as LGBTQIA+ people, we can often have more complex and non linear journeys toward kinship - choosing the ways we relate to one another, what it means to nurture and care for one another, what kind of relationship we can have with the more than human world, how does inviting family feeling into the broader scope of relationship change the meaning of kinship? The invitation is broad and the scope is endless!

Applications are welcomed by all artists and activists from the LGBTQIA+ community that wish to deepen their practice within a collective living environment.
