Artist Residencies in Oicatá with Stipend

Virreina

Oicatá, Colombia

Virreina's LOMA SERENA residency program is aimed at artists, writers, curators, cultural managers, filmmakers, architects, and designers whose practice is critically engaged with the cultural sector. The program fosters exploration and collective questioning, offering participants space to rethink possibilities of exhibition, circulation, production, and development of both material and theoretical projects while immersing in an experience tailored to the local cultural ecosystem. Located in the Oicatá valley in Boyacá, one of the most emblematic regions of the Cundiboyacense highlands, the residency takes place in a colonial-style house with three internal courtyards surrounded by large green areas. Participants have access to workshop areas equipped for large-scale work and a 5-hectare complex ideal for agricultural work. The program includes field trips to locations offering creative possibilities from lagoons and deserts to artisan workshops and gastronomic events, plus studio visits with regional cultural agents.
