Trans Europe Halles (TEH) is looking for a writer / an author (or writers / authors as a group) to prepare a TEH Book, a biannual publication, based on the archival materials from 40+ years of the network uniting 170+ creative and cultural centres across 40+ countries. This sub-project is part of Common Spaces.
The Writer/Author will lead the conceptual, editorial, and write the narrative development of the publication, working closely with the TEH team, which will provide archives, meeting notes, General Assembly minutes, and documentation.
The framework of the book has already been discussed with the Executive Committee and in consultation with representatives involved in the previous TEH publication (Factory of Imagination).
The Writer/Author will move beyond pure documentation and towards an interpretation and reflection of TEH’s history in a broader EU cultural policy mirroring both their evolutions.
The assignment (June 2026 – January 2027) includes strategic framing of the narrative, content development, writing and editing, and quality assurance. The final draft is planned to be ready by November 2026, after that the publication is scheduled to be proof-read.
The budget is 4,800 EUR + VAT.
