The two organisations are supporting a month-long residency for three comic artists - Su Opperman (South Africa), Kai Pfeiffer (Germany) and Hippolyte (France). During this residency, a local journalist will assist each comic artist. Together, they will explore a journalistic topic dealing with migration.
Journalists with a minimum of two years professional experience, and who are based in Cape Town, are hereby invited to submit an expression of interest and examples of their published work, should they be interested in participating in this residency. To qualify for this project, journalists should be no older than 35 years.
Invited journalists will be paid a fee to collaborate with one of the invited artists in researching and creating reportage on a topic, which the selected artists and journalist will agree upon.
Please forward expressions of interest (no longer than 200 words), a short CV (not longer than one page) as well as copies of at least two published texts to Francois Venter (gro.ehteog.grubsennahoj@retnev) by no later than Wednesday 27 April. The names of selected journalists will be announced by 16 May 2016.
For enquiries, call Mickey Makpolo at +27 (0)11 403 0458.
