APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

The thematic of a Murmur Land Studios field school event is designed to attract a diverse group of creative thinkers, makers, movers and doers around a particular questioning potential for collective investigation. Our application process is designed in turn to facilitate this process of bringing-together, by skipping institutional markers of “success” in favour of a more direct relation to the event itself.

This is an email-based application with a 3-page PDF attachment. For fairness the attachment will be reviewed blindly by the curatorial collective, after which the anonymous application will then be reconnected to your identity from the email body.

  • Please make sure there is no personally-identifying information in the PDF attachment!
  • Only include your name/personal information in the body of your email message.
  • Please ensure all 3 pages are compiled into ONE PDF. Applications that fail to do this will not be considered.
