Short Description

From September to April, Pocoapoco Residency hosts five-week residencies made up of international and local (Oaxacan) residents who come together to think, work, discuss and collaborate. With a focus on shared practice & dialogue, the residency works to support and connect individuals, ideas and practices, offering space to slow down, reframe and respond.

 

Eligibility

We welcome artists and non-artists across all fields – from journalism to filmmaking, music to tech, painting to public policy. We consider active observation, conversation and reflection as essential to building new ways of coming together and creating together across locations, disciplines and practices.
