About
Overview
Ses12naus opens a two-phase residency for visual artists and curators in Ibiza for 2026–2027. The six-week programme is divided into two three-week phases supporting artists and curators in developing new projects, continuing existing research, or completing larger ongoing works. The first phase focuses on research, exploration and immersion in Ibiza's territory, with residents expected to organize a public activity. During the second phase, participants return to produce work, continue curatorial research, and present projects publicly.
