Casa Ceiba is a place-based artist residency in Santiago Atitlán, Iximulew (Guatemala), rooted in Maya cosmology, reciprocity, and relational accountability. Founded by Ceiba Futures LLC, Casa Ceiba offers immersive, co-designed residencies for artists, culture bearers, and cultural organizers seeking spaciousness, ancestral grounding, and meaningful engagement with a living Maya community.

Hosting one resident at a time, Casa Ceiba provides lodging, shared studio space, and facilitated experiences with local Tz'utujil practitioners—centering rest and creative practice over productivity. Each residency includes a community reciprocity offering, designed collaboratively between the resident and the host.

Casa Ceiba especially welcomes Indigenous, Black, queer, and diasporic artists engaged in work at the intersection of culture, memory, and imagination. Sliding scale pricing, payment plans, and work exchange options are available.

Casa Ceiba is an offering rooted in the understanding that diaspora reconnection, deep creative practice, and reciprocal exchange are forms of cultural infrastructure — for the artist, for the community, and for the futures we are building together.

Obee Editions is a collaborative fine art printmaking studio founded in 2016 by Tamarind Master Printer Perry Obee and based in Black Mountain, North Carolina, near Asheville. Rooted in the rich artistic culture of Western North Carolina, the studio works one-on-one with artists to develop original print projects through traditional and contemporary printmaking techniques.

Obee Editions partners with both established and emerging artists across disciplines, providing technical expertise, professional production, and a supportive environment for experimentation, risk-taking, and creative growth. Through collaborative publishing projects, residencies, and visiting artist programs, the studio aims to expand access to printmaking while broadening the range of voices represented in contemporary print practice.

The Obee Editions Residency offers immersive, process-driven collaborations in lithography, monotype, relief, chine collé, artist books, and hybrid print processes. Artists work closely with the master printer to develop projects that evolve through dialogue, experimentation, and hands-on studio practice.

SOPRA SOTTO is a transdisciplinary art residency inspired by the philosophy "as above, so below" (come sopra, così sotto), and functions as a living laboratory grounded in experimentation, co-creation and creative exchange.

The residencies are communal living experiences that explore how we relate, live, and create together beyond dominant systems. Slower daily rhythms offer space to reconnect with oneself, others, and nature. Everyday life centers around shared cooking and meals, time in nature, creative workshops, rest, occasional excursions, and open dialogue. Art is approached as a lens, co-living as a method, relationship as a research, and presence becomes practice.

​The residency offers a framework to work with themes around community, ecology, embodiment, system change, healing and our relationship to nature, body, and spirit. Each residency is shaped around changing overarching themes, often co-developed a collaborator with specific experience and knowledge on the topic. The content of each residency is largely shaped by the residents themselves, with a participatory structure based on a co-created workshop program. The residency is built by residents for residents, through cross-pollination of ideas, collaboration, and collective experimentation.

​Together, residents create a shared container to examine paradigms that no longer serve us, and to explore how extractive systems can be reworked into more regenerative ways of being. Creatives have the power to shape narratives and ideas, and can influence cultural consciousness through ripple effect. Art becomes a tool for questioning, reflection, research, and dialogue, inviting participants to challenge assumptions and explore new ways of sensing and understanding the world. Creative expression is understood as a means for connection, emotional expression, and collective healing. 

​The residency is for interdisciplinary culture shapers from a wide range of fields, including artists in different media, writers, researchers, philosophers, educators, scientists, dancers, musicians, and other creators and changemakers. It welcomes people from all backgrounds, nationalities, ethnicities, ages, religions, sexual orientations, and walks of life, and is shaped around diversity, openness, and shared practice across communities and disciplines.

SOPRA SOTTO prioritizes a process-based approach over fixed outcomes, and exists as an ongoing experiment offering a space for collective (un)learning and reflection grounded in curiosity and presence. Running since 2023, SOPRA SOTTO is evolving toward longer-term residency programs in Sardinia from late 2026 onwards, developing a more rooted project for communal living, critical inquiry, and creative exchange.

We-Che Art Residency is an artist run project, designed by artists for artists, founded by the artistic duo Raom&Loba. In line with our own vision and experience, we humbly wish to offer others what we have received from our peers at different points in our artistic careers: an inspiring place, a warm and quiet workspace, conducive to constructive exchanges with artists from every parts of the world… as a small, human-scale adventure. 

We-Che, means Young in mapuche, and we encourage artists to connect to Patagonia as a natural historical and cultural environnement. Our proposal is to spend time and space away to retreat, create and rejuvenate, gathering new inspiration, and also participate to a more respectful relationship between Art and Nature.

We welcome emerging and established writers and creators of all discipline if their project fits to We-Che capacities, evaluating if our (young yet growing) structure can give all the necessary space and is able to promote the better experience for each one.
