Digital Poetry Residency
Deadline: Fri 3 Mar 2017
1215.today, in collaboration with The Poetry School, want to identify a poet for a six-week digital residency with the 1215

1215.today, in collaboration with The Poetry School, want to identify a poet for a six-week digital residency with the 1215.today site to begin at the end of April, through May 2017. The chosen poet will receive £1,000.

1215.today commemorates 800 years of the Magna Carta in an online platform that gives young people a space to debate and create. It is a University of Lincoln project funded by Arts Council England. The genesis of the project is Lincoln and its ownership of one of only four remaining copies of the first Magna Carta dating from 1215 and ownership of one of two remaining The Charter of the Forest dating from 1217. By looking, listening and talking about societal and individual rights through the lens of contemporary art, design, literature, music, film, drama and dance we aim to agitate and engage young people in creating work about big issues.

Alongside artist commissions the 1215.today team are inviting guest editors,  creative groups and resident artists to ‘take over’ the site from time to time, bringing their own distinctive perspectives of what Magna Carta means today.
