Monte / Verità
10 February - 23 February

Cultivating Alternative Realities

Creative communal living for envisioning interconnected, regenerative futures

This residency will take place in Cairo Montenotte, in Ligura, Italy. The theme is inspired by the early 20th-century artist commune named Monte Verità.

​

An interdisciplinary group of residents is invited for an immersive communal living experience, where we reimagine the historic utopian experiment as a modern living laboratory and embodied, creative think tank, connecting with ourself, community, and nature.
