The Allen Iverson Practice Residency<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWe talkin\u2019 bout\u2026 a residency.\u201d<\/p>\n

Look, we\u2019re not talkin\u2019 about some passive retreat. Not a quiet sabbatical on a hill somewhere. We talkin\u2019 bout practice. We talkin\u2019 a residency. A space to work, think, unwork, unthink \u2013 a chance to conspire, compose, and compost radical ideas into something else entirely. Yes, a residency. Not a lecture tour. Not a publication deadline. Not some panel slot at a dead end conference. We talkin\u2019 bout The Allen Iverson Practice Residency.<\/p>\n

Minor Compositions is calling for proposals for its 2026\/2027 program. This residency isn\u2019t about perfecting your final performance \u2013 it\u2019s about process, experimentation, and critical mischief. A space \u2013 real and conceptual \u2013 for writers, artists, theorists, militant researchers, and those operating between and beyond such categories. We\u2019re talkin\u2019 bout work-in-process, out-of-bounds thinking, and collaborative divergence. Duration is flexible \u2013 from a few days to a few weeks. Output can range from a publication, a performance, an intervention, or a refusal to finalize. Resources include editorial support, dialogue with peers, and amplification via the Minor Compositions network.<\/p>\n

More prosaically<\/em><\/strong>, it is, in part, a spare bedroom at Minor Compositions HQ. A door that closes. A desk, or a table commandeered into one. A kettle that is always somehow already on. It is a place to stay \u2013 to live with a project long enough for it to start talking back. Guests and collaborators can use the space as a base for their own work, or as a point of entanglement with whatever is unfolding at Minor Compositions at the time. You might arrive with a manuscript in fragments, a half-formed intervention, a research question that refuses to stabilize. You might plug into ongoing editorial conversations, impromptu reading groups, recording sessions, design experiments. Or you might drift between these modes \u2013 working alone in the morning, arguing collectively in the evening.<\/p>\n

It is not luxurious. It is not institutional. It is proximate. It runs on shared meals, marginal notes, and the generative awkwardness of thinking in the presence of others. It makes room for the unanticipated \u2013 for projects that mutate, for collaborations that were not planned, for ideas that only emerge because the conditions are slightly off from what you are used to. In short, it is a residency scaled to practice \u2013 modest in infrastructure, expansive in possibility.<\/p>\n
