Description

The WORTHLESSTUDIOS Photographer In Residence (PIR) program is a unique 1-month-long photography residency taking place inside an Airstream trailer converted into a Darkroom. PIR gives analog photographers and photography-based artists exclusive access to the Airstream darkroom to process film and make new work. Due to the mobile nature of the Airstream, artists in residence gain direct access to a community or place they wish to document, maximizing their use of the darkroom and creating a body of work that is site-specific. RESIDENTS GET Exclusive access to Airstream darkroom for 4 weeks $1,500 artist stipend Darkroom chemistry, film, and photo paper The option to host a public program 2 free workshops on scanning and digital printing by Brooklyn PrintWorks Press packet materials In 2026, WORTHLESSSTUDIOS will mainly offer residencies in the five boroughs of NYC, in partnership with local sites and arts organizations such as Alice Austen House, Inspiration Point, The Green-Wood Cemetery, and NYC Parks.
