PHOTOGRAPHY RESIDENCY

An art residency provides the technical conditions, time, and space to develop ideas and try new approaches. It is a moment that promotes connection between artists from different backgrounds and consequently the exchange of knowledge and experiences.

Aviário Studio Photography Residency aims to promote the production and dissemination of Photography in its different forms and aesthetics. Artists are invited to focus on their work in a creative and encouraging environment.

We offer the conditions to test possibilities and materialize ideas. On one hand, it can be a moment of transition, more connected to experimentation and research; on the other hand, it can be the point of consolidation of a project translated into the production of a new body of work.

The Respite hosts cultural residencies for creative artists and healing practitioners, prioritizing queer, trans, nonbinary and/or black, indigenous, cultural workers of colors’ working, resting or scheming for our collective liberation.   There is not set price to stay in the Respite Roundhouse, nor specific artist program for funding support.   

The house and land will be open from April through end of July 2025.  Respite in the Round is a custom round treehouse turned land-based retreat offering individuals and small groups a place for rest, connection, creative making, grounding and vision-setting.  

Situated within a rare alluvial forest on a tributary of the Upper Tar River in the Piedmont of North Carolina, The Respite is a small business that operates according to solidarity scale and is in a shared, rematriating relationship with the Jeffries soil sisters who are also farm partner member-owners of Handèwa Farms.  Together, the Respite and the Jeffries soil sisters are building an intentional queer, Black and/or Indigenous-centered community on 23 acres of Rare Occaneechi Saponi Alluvial (R.O.S.A.) land.  We welcome nature-based immersion for artists, healers, cultural organizers and their families taking time for restful or creative resistance.
