Short Description
JR Residency invites national and international contemporary artists, designers, and creative thinkers to delve into the evolving language of craft. Rooted in tradition yet open to the experimental and multidisciplinary space, the program offers a platform for material exploration, cultural storytelling, and artistic innovation. Working alongside master artisans, participants engage in an immersive hands-on experience and co-creation that fosters a dialogue between generational wisdom and contemporary creative practice.
The residency runs year-round without a fixed deadline. Studio location at Jaipur or village-based will be thoughtfully determined through pre-residency dialogue, aligning with each participant’s proposal, practice, and preferred working environment.
Eligibility
Applicants should have a minimum of five years of active practice. Formal degrees are not essential, those with hands-on experience and a strong interest in textiles and fibre are warmly encouraged.
