Digital Residencies in Peru

Centro Selva

Campo Verde, Peru

Centro Selva Arte y Ciencia is an artist residency located in the Central Amazon region of Peru, specifically in the Ucayali region near Pucallpa. Founded in 2012 by Diana Riesco-Lind, the residency offers multidisciplinary artists from around the world the opportunity to immerse themselves in the Amazonian culture and environment. The residency spans over 400 hectares of agricultural and reforested lands, providing artists with a unique setting to focus on their creative projects. Centro Selva offers group residencies in July and August, as well as individual residencies throughout the year. The program promotes cross-disciplinary dialogue between artists and scientists, and residents present their work in Pucallpa or Lima. Artists from all disciplines are invited to apply and stay for periods of up to 20 days. While the facilities are basic, the residency provides a deep connection with nature and the Amazonian context.
