Chokechaka Artist Residency

This year-round residency program hosts artists, scholars, activists, and creatives in a mountain setting in Peru's Sacred Valley of the Incas. Residents stay for periods of one to four weeks and are provided a serene creative environment for personal project development alongside opportunities for cultural exchange and community engagement. Participants can take part in local backstrap weaving workshops, collaborate with nearby ceramic studios, explore agroforestry projects, and visit Inca temples, salt mines, and waterfalls. The organization facilitates connections with local scholars, artists, craftspeople, and Andean cultural practitioners, fostering deep cross-cultural immersion and creative growth.
