The writers who will be in the Residency from 4 to 6 weeks will work on their
individual writing projects and also mentor Iseyin students in the area of creative
arts.
The Ebedi Residency is a private initiative for creative Writers and Artists to
complete their works in a conducive environment at no cost to the Writers.
The Residency has hosted about 130 Writers from 10 different countries since it
was established in 2010.
