KAI: Residency Programs
Since its conception, Kai has always worked with professionals from different disciplines for its design and continuous process of implementation. Following this same line of diversity of knowledge, our residency programs are aimed at professionals from various artistic disciplines or research activities (i.e. natural sciences or social sciences). Specially, to those who are seeking to develop visual arts, photography, design, research and educational projects related to the Andean region. All of them, interested in working in an appropiate environment and in a rural area, without distractions.
Residencia Kai is located in the district of Arin, province of Calca. A place surrounded by nature, Andean traditions and Inca temples, which are a source of inspiration for all visitors. The accommodation and the use of the studios are included in the residency program. You can also use some of the outdoor environments for specific projects, but this must be informed when sending the application for the approval of the Director.
