Open call III Poetic Residences poéticas «Ámeto Mítico» on the UNESCO’s World Heritage Santiago’s French Way

• Uxío Novoneyra Foundation opens the third call for poetic itinerant residencies on the UNESCO’s World Heritage Santiago’s French Way, a project that belongs to «O teu Xacobeo» programming propelled by Xunta de Galicia and Creative Europe
• We look for poets interested in doing the Santiago’s French Way and writing about the Jacobean peregrination

«Ameto Mítico» residence has its goal in updating the legacy of the galician-portuguese troubadour poetry characterised by the influence of provençal lyric and others, like sufi peotry, that arrived in Galicia through the Santiago’s Way peregrinations.

We want to reactivate this immaterial tradition and take the poets through the peregrination experience aiming at the dissemination of the Santiago’s Way as a mythical space to write poetry about nowadays.

Inspired by the routes showed in the book Arrodeos de Desvíos do Camiño de Santiago, Uxío Novoneyra’s last book of poems — who was also a recognised modernizer of the troubadour poetry— we propose six residences of writing and poetic peregrination through the Santiago’s Way on Galician territory.

This third call is defined in the programme «O teu Xacobeo» by Xunta de Galicia and belongs as well to the project Europa Creativa «BE(P)ART Grow With Arts» aiming to bring the literary creation closer to the younger generations through a participative methodology and network.
