Cafe Tissardmine
Tissardmine, Morocco
Cafe Tissardmine offers a unique artist residency in the heart of the Moroccan desert, providing a serene environment for artists to explore and create. This residency is designed for artists seeking inspiration from the vast landscapes and profound silence of the desert. Up to nine artists at a time can enjoy a 24-day stay, with the opportunity to engage with the local village and its children. The residency emphasizes the importance of being resourceful and inventive due to its isolated location, limited internet access, and the need for artists to bring their own supplies. The program includes accommodation, meals, studio space, and a sunset trip to Erg Chebbi's giant dune, aiming to recharge and inspire artists away from the demands of modern life. The selection process is personal and prioritizes artists committed to the full residency length, with a fee of 950 Euro covering most necessities and activities designed to immerse artists in the desert experience.
Nawat Fes
Fes, Morocco
Nawat Fes offers residencies for U.S. and international artists across multiple disciplines, including visual and performance art, music, literature, and literary translation. The program aims to introduce new international voices to the Moroccan community, prioritizing artists not currently residing in Morocco. Artist collaboratives of up to three people are eligible, provided they hold passports that allow for Moroccan tourist visa eligibility. Residents are provided with simple, private studio spaces in Dar Bennis, though there are limitations for visual artists and sound-based creators due to the shared nature of the live-work space. Specifically, visual artists may not use materials that emit fumes, and sound-based artists must use headphones to avoid disturbing others. The residency emphasizes the importance of respecting the shared live-work environment while fostering artistic growth. An application fee is required, with waivers available for those facing economic hardship or lacking secure online payment methods. Nawat Fes seeks to cultivate artistic development within the constraints of its facilities and the communal living situation.
