DESERT 23°S: Arts & Ecology Research Residency
About This Opportunity
The Atacama Desert is an ethereal landscape that invites reflection on the thresholds between humanity and vast more-than-human worlds. With volcanic plains, metamorphic pools, and night skies that intertwine human existence with the cosmos, it offers a space for contemplation and invites us to rethink our relationship with the natural world. The extreme conditions of this territory challenge perceptions of life on Earth, revealing stories of resilience and coexistence in the face of environmental fragility. As one of the driest places on the planet, it faces growing threats from over-mining and unsustainable water extraction — reflecting broader narratives of environmental exploitation and planetary imbalance.
