Get matched →WilderHaven invites artists, curators, ethnographers, anthropologists, and agricultural researchers to engage directly with Jingmai Mountain, a site of seasonal renewal, ancestral trade routes, and living heritage. The program focuses on the intersections of ecology, diaspora cultures, indigenous women’s weaving traditions, and eco-friendly art. Participants are encouraged to develop projects inspired by the landscape, culture, and social context of Jingmai Mountain, but proposals are not limited to a specific theme.
This residency session will host a cohort of up to 14 artists, writers, and researchers, designed to support various engagement and networking, community exchanges, and collective learning. Accepted residents may enroll in an optional 6-day traditional backstrap weaving workshop for an additional fee. Participants will also join a group trip to visit local textile communities.
Artists and researchers (21+ year-old) working in any medium are welcome. International artists are welcome. Applicants at any stage of their career are accepted. Spouses/partners are allowed for the full stay (non-collaborators). Pets are not allowed.
WilderHaven welcomes proposals in areas such as: Visual arts, Textile, Filmmaker, Digital Media, Design, Architecture, Writing, Poem, Sound and music, Research-based practice, Ecology and botany, Social practice, and Cross-disciplinary experimentation.
