TEXERE

About

The TEXERE Textile Residency, located in Santa María del Tule, Oaxaca, Mexico, offers both independent and group residency programs for artists seeking to explore and expand their textile practices. Residents can engage with themes such as weaving, spinning, natural dyes, embroidery, and the intersection of social, cultural, and environmental aspects of textile traditions. The program provides private or shared accommodations, access to professional textile equipment, and shared studio space, creating a supportive environment for education, experimentation, and community exchange. Independent residencies are flexible, lasting 1–4 weeks, allowing participants to focus on individual projects at their own pace. Group residency programs, on the other hand, run for two weeks and incorporate curated workshops with local artisans, studio visits with contemporary textile artists and researchers, and collaborative opportunities among residents. Both formats foster deep connections with Oaxaca’s rich textile heritage and its artisan community.
