Program Description

A rare opportunity to research and develop new artistic & creative practices in an otherworldly mars-like environment, within an indigenous community inside a national nature reserve. Here offers the most optimal conditions for astronomical observations in the world and preserves ancient archeology beneath the sands. Learn more about how this ecosystem is currently threatened by water-intensive lithium mines. Our fluid, site-responsive programs introduce creatives to the local ecology and culture as well as the socio-political and historical contexts of the area, whilst presenting reciprocal benefits for local communities both socially + economically through our presence and exchange. We cultivate spaces that nourish and encourage space for personal and professional growth, the freedom to learn and experiment creatively, gather and find new inspiration in remote wilderness far from structural or institutional frameworks and limitations.
