Get matched →Equisoain Art Residency is a living eco-laboratory and cultural initiative founded by artists and curators Eliana Perinat and Lívia Diniz. Located in Navarra, Spain, under the shadow of Mount La Higa, it operates in collaboration with LABEA (Laboratorio de Arte, Ciencia y Naturaleza), the international Eternal Forest network, and Asociación Despierta. Rooted in ecological thought, somatic practice, and interspecies co-creation, the platform invites artists to move beyond treating nature as a passive subject, framing the forest and its ecosystems as active co-authors of contemporary creative research.
The residency offers a 15-day retreat in Navarra. Residents live and work inside a restored 15th-century bioclimatic tower-house nestled within a beech, oak, and boxwood forest. The program includes guided forest walks (Insight Art), natural ink and biomaterial harvesting workshops (Inks, Matter and Landscape), and interspecies co-creation archives. Selected artists receive a formal Institutional Co-Authorship Protocol document to negotiate the forest's co-authorship status with museums and galleries.
Open globally to national and international artists of any background or origin. Practice must demonstrate a genuine, non-extractive dialogue with nature, living systems, and ecological processes. Program operates in English and Spanish (with support in Portuguese and French). Partners and children are welcome (details and extra fee arrangements specified upon application).
Every listing links to the organizer's official page. Always confirm deadlines, fees, and entry rules there before you apply.
Application is free. Residency participation is self-funded based on accommodation preference (includes 15-day stay, workspace access, workshops, and mentoring): Shared Room (2 single beds, shared bath) €800; Private Single Room (shared bath) €1,100; Private Double Room (ensuite bath, views) €1,300; Tower Suite + Dovecote (private ensuite, 360-degree studio) €1,600.
