Studio Verde

Studio Verde offers multidisciplinary artist residencies that blend art, science, and environmental conservation across various global locations, including the Peruvian Amazon, Zambia, and Kenya. These immersive programs invite artists, curators, and designers to collaborate with local experts and eco-guardians, exploring the unique environmental and cultural challenges faced in these regions. Through a combination of workshops, field research, and hands-on experiences, participants engage in ecological restoration efforts, climate change mitigation, and community engagement, all while creating impactful artistic narratives that inspire environmental action. Studio Verde’s residencies focus on deep cultural immersion, with opportunities to learn from Indigenous knowledge and local conservation practices.
