Virtual Art Residency Program about: Our Land, Ocean, Atmos-fear, Sustainability

There are four virtual residency programs: Ocean, Our Earth, “Atmos-fear,” and Sustainability.

They focus on topics such as ocean conservation, sustainability and rooted communities, memory, territory, the earth, and climate.

They are aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and are supported as an endorsed activity by the United Nations Decade of the Ocean.

There are 4 programs in support of and committed to UNESCO’s environmental and humanistic goals.

We guide residents so they can focus on working on a project for 6 weeks through virtual meetings (1 per week), exchange dialogue and ideas with other residents (of all nationalities), participate in talks with special guests related to science and ancestral perspectives, and thus enhance their work.

We hold a virtual Open Studio and an exhibition on a virtual map to conclude each program.
