Eligibility
Hampi Art Labs invites visual artists and interdisciplinary practitioners to use drawing, mark-making, and experimental visual practices to map time, memory, rhythm, and sensation as part of our next residency. This residency encourages working beyond traditional drawing: embracing gesture, sound, movement, and embodied processes to give form to what flickers at the edge of awareness.
