From the 7th to the 10th of August 2026, a cohort of the Friends will convene for a writing and research residency at the Eugene O’Neill Center in Waterford, CT. Building on previous years’ Politics of Attention retreats, we will turn our focus to the powers of the “score” (also known as the practice, protocol, action-poem, etc.) in advancing Attention Activism. Co-organized by Eleanor Lambert, Connor Griffin, Peter Schmidt, and D. Graham Burnett. For more information: peter@sustainedattention.net.
