Residents work independently on their proposed project or research. Residents are also encouraged to do nothing, to rest, to not work, to read one book slowly, or to go into town every day and explore. You may design this residency however you wish. The program provides assistance with project development and research to create a platform of support, conversation, reflection, and accessibility.
Open to all beings from all races, all religions, all countries of origin, all sexual orientations, all genders, all abilities. Previous residents have included filmmakers, painters, photographers, writers, and others. Applicants are encouraged to consider how their work or research will interact with Guatemala's vast history from Mayan culture and indigenous communities to the current post-civil war society, and to reflect on their role and responsibility as a maker learning and creating in a new country.
