Pocoapoco Residency

Pocoapoco Residency

Minneapolis, MN, United States

Our residency program is dedicated to supporting the artistic investigation and creative practice of interdisciplinary artists and cultural workers from Oaxaca, the United States, and around the world.  This program embodies our belief that creative inquiry and intercultural dialogue is essential for imagining new possibilities and expanding collective understanding, fostering a shared culture of learning where artists & cultural workers cross disciplines, challenge narratives, and take creative risks.

A five week program, we host a mix of local and international residents  who engage deeply in investigation, conversation, and community connection through presentations, public workshops and an open studio.
