Casa de Mono

2026 – Artist Residency Program – Casa de Mono Deadline: 01 Oct 2026 Country: Colombia Presentation Following the principles of our Foundation, an NGO whose activities are based on ecosophical knowledge, this Artist Residency Program is conceived as an interchange platform between the artists-in-residency projects and the different practices that take place in the Foundation’s house, the city and the region. Mainly, the kind of practices that establish relationships with the environment based on sensitivity towards the planet, the protection of life, human freedoms and respect for individual differences. This program is aimed at both artists (in a wide sense: from visual to performing arts, from music to writing) and cultural managers or agents interested in putting forward artistic projects aligned with discourses of ecological and social sustainability and, in general terms, with the knowledge and practices related to the values and objectives encouraged by Casa de Mono. Characteristics of the program Even though the program is thought of as a self-directed artist residency, Casa de Mono team will offer the residents guidance during the conceptualization, production and exhibition of the project. Given this is an urban residency program, we will coordinate activities that will allow the resident to easily adapt to the city and get to know the local artistic context. In this regard, the following activities are put forth: dérives in the city center and places of interest, visits to relevant artistic spaces, encounters with artists, different cultural agents, and, in general, people interested in the artist’s background and/or project. At the end of the residency we will schedule the socialization of the results obtained during the residency, which can take the shape of an exhibition, conference or open-studio session. In any case, the resident can propose other socialization strategies that better adapt to the nature of their project. Note: The duration of the residency doesn’t necessarily have to be dedicated to the production of an artwork to be exhibited. It can also be dedicated to planning or structuring a project. Duration of residency From one (1) to three (3) months. Accommodation Visual arts, sculpture, dance, theatre, printmaking, performing arts, textile art, music, literature, curatorial practices, ecological practices, social practices, and the like.Equipment and assistance.
