House of Text: Text Laboratory #2 International Working Residency (Finland)

The House of Text in Helsinki, Finland is hosting the Text Laboratory working residency programme for writers and other artists working with the medium of text. The residency programme is being held three times over 2024–2026, with the aim of finding and testing new ways to bring text culture works to audiences. This second Text Laboratory will take place between 14 July and 24 August 2025.

House of Text are looking for eight writers or other artists with different backgrounds (discipline, age, cultural background) who are interested in thinking about the possibilities of text culture, sharing their thinking and practices, and working with other project participants. The group will be supported by two mentor artists and a project coordinator. The working language of the project is English, but each participant can create their own texts/art works in the language of their choice and a translator can be used to finalise the artworks or to support the process.

During the residency period, a joint work or works will be created together with artistic support from Theatre Director and Facilitator Maiju Tainio and Writer, Researcher and Musician Matti Kangaskoski. The ideas produced in the Laboratory will find their audience as part of the Runokuu (Poetry Moon) Festival in the last week of the residency.
