Call for Applications: Alternative Heritages and The Republic Magazine
Share

The French Embassy in Nigeria, in partnership with StoryMi and The Republic Magazine, is thrilled to announce a unique opportunity for emerging writers, photographers, and illustrators to explore and celebrate Nigeria’s cultural and historical heritages through diverse forms.​

Objective: This special issue of The Republic Magazine aims to create a thought-provoking and visually stunning magazine that showcases alternative perspectives on Nigerian heritage. “Heritages” can be defined as “Alternative” when being forgotten and facing long-term peril of disappearance, or because they represent recent creations by minority, marginalized, and/or protesting groups, institutions, and individuals. It can be monuments, but also language, religion, tradition, music, history… everything that makes Nigeria such a unique and diverse country in Africa. 

Through this residency, we seek to amplify diverse voices and perspectives, fostering a deeper appreciation for our collective heritage.

Program Details:

  • Duration: 3 months (August – October)

  • Location: One-week workshop residency in Ibadan (24th to 30th of August),

  • 2-month online mentorship sessions (September-October)

  • Participants:

    • 5 writers ( nonfiction preferably)

    • 3 photographers

    • 2 illustrators

  • Publication: Selected works will be featured in a special edition of The Republic Magazine, set for publication in December.

Mentors and Instructors
