Call for entries
AMAZÓNICA Artist-in-Residence
OPEN CALL 2026
We are excited to announce the open call for the AMAZÓNICA Artists-in-Residence program, organized by Correlación Contemporánea in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon. This is a unique opportunity for artists, scholars, and creative professionals to immerse themselves in one of the world’s most biodiverse regions and develop projects that engage deeply with culture, nature, and communities.
What’s the program about?
AMAZÓNICA offers a 4-week residency in Iquitos, Peru (either May or September 2026), where selected participants will explore topics such as the Amazon rainforest, biodiversity, indigenous and urban Amazon culture, decolonization, and intercultural dialogue.
It invites visual artists, performers, musicians, researchers, curators, and interdisciplinary creators from around the world.
What you’ll receive:
Accommodation and work space: private and shared rooms in a central residence in Iquitos and optional forest cabins in the rainforest.
Engagement with local and indigenous communities.
Workshops, talks, and cultural immersion guided by local curators and artists.
A creative, intercultural environment far from everyday routines — perfect to recharge, reflect, and make bold artistic leaps.
Who should apply?
If your work explores or could develop in dialogue with the Amazon region, its ecosystems, urban and rural Amazonian life, indigenous knowledge, migration, ecology, or intercultural perspectives — we’d love to hear from you! The program is open to national and international practitioners across creative disciplines.
Important details:
Residency periods: May 3-31 or Sept 1-29, 2026.
Open call begins every September; applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until capacity is filled. Spots are limited — apply early to increase your chance!
Why this matters:
Beyond the studio time, AMAZÓNICA encourages you to engage meaningfully with place, community, and environment. It is an invitation to step out of routine, challenge your artistic practice, and collaborate in a rich intercultural setting. The Amazon is not just a backdrop — it becomes a part of your creative experience.
If you’re ready to embark on an unforgettable creative journey, we hope you’ll apply — and we look forward to seeing what you bring to this vibrant exchange. Application process and full guidelines:
