Summary

Overview

This laboratory-format residency invites artists, writers, and researchers to explore walking as an artistic and research methodology through an intensive process of collective work situated within the landscape of Montserrat. The program focuses on embodied experience, ecological observation, site-responsive creation, and reflective practices, moving through themes of storytelling, the body, ecological narratives, and food.
