Bucheon and Melbourne Cities of Literature residency exchange

Parallel Panels is calling for expressions of interest from Victorian-based (Australia) graphic storytellers for the Bucheon and Melbourne Cities of Literature residency exchange in October 2023.

Parallel Panels is hosted by Bucheon City of Literature (Korea) and Melbourne City of Literature (Australia), in partnership with RMIT Culture.

A graphic storyteller from each City will spend a fortnight in the sister city. The Parallel Panels project commission is a graphic storytelling piece, which will be consolidated at the end of the two residencies. The two residents will collaborate on this project.

Successful residents will work on the following:

A project of their own choosing
A Parallel Panels commission – a collaborative graphic storytelling piece by both residents
A Parallel Panels workshop – delivery of a workshop to local creatives in the host City
Participate in a public event – to be negotiated with the host City
