Условия участия

Open to creators from all disciplines; capacity limited to 10 participants

PATAGONIA ARGENTINA – 2027 multidisciplinary program Deadline: 05 Aug 2026 Country: Argentina PATAGONIA ARGENTINA is a special multidisciplinary residency session right by Moreno lake shores, in Bariloche, Argentina, designed for creators seeking to explore, experiment, and deepen their creative processes within the breathtaking Patagonian autumn. We will gather in a dedicated, cozy lakeside refuge nestled within a spectacular 2.5-acre park surrounded by native trees, this tranquil property offers direct and private access to the pristine shores of Lago Moreno. Lago Moreno, at the very core of Bariloche’s Circuito Chico, was strategically selected as the canvas for this session. Situated where the granite peaks of the Andes melt into millennial woods, this environment serves as a living laboratory for deep introspection and earthly connection. Perched on the shores of this pristine glacial body of water, the venue provides a scenic haven that beautifully balances the vastness of the Patagonian wilderness with the stillness required for profound individual inquiry. Operating under the premise of freedom of inquiry and exploration of our creative mind and projects over the pressure of a final product, we offer a space for retreat and contemplation—tailored for personal exploration and introspection, yet profoundly rooted in the power of a group sharing experience alongside a community of artists from different disciplines. Inspired by practices of deep immersion and connection in ecological paradises, PATAGONIA ARGENTINA invites residents to embrace stillness as a bridge for profound connection: with the identity of this new territory, with the unique rhythm of the creative process, with oneself, and with the community of creators sharing the space. The Patagonian autumn is the threshold of deep listening, observation and expansion. The forest of coihues and lengas changes its skin before our eyes, inviting us to slow down our pace, understand the cycles of our creative process and thinking, and inhabit a new intimacy with both the natural and human environment. Duration of residency April 15th to May 6th, 2027 3 weeks / 21 nights 2 weeks, please check with us.
