Brief Description of Open Call:
Red Materia’s residency program is for those who would like to ground their professional or creative practice in hands-on making. Residents have access to shared studio space, multiple making spaces, as well as shared living spaces and gardens.
The residency program also offers participants access to Red Materia’s large network of partners and collaborators who have special facilities and access to local materials. You are welcome to work across both spaces and learn with these material experts. Residents are welcome to apply for two weeks to two months.

Information about your organization:
Based in Guatemala, Red Materia (“Material Network” in Spanish) unites practitioners across design, craft, research, and communities to create physical pieces and spaces that highlight our connections with nature.
Through this network, create publications, exhibitions, residencies, events, and workshops that connect our knowledge and experience with other experts, organizations, and regions. Ultimately, our goal is to adapt and promote both new (and ancient) natural materials and processes.
