Program Description

The Hidden Turtle Residency is time out of the ordinary in a PLACE that is extraordinary. Research, practice, play, make work, dream, ask questions, collect data, explore, find stillness, discover.... Experiment. Dialogue. Collaborate. Bear witness to yourself in relation to Place. Make a difference. Tortuga Escondida Residency Center in Akumal, Mexico exists at an intersection of a unique region on the planet during volatile times that leave us all impacted. Environmental concerns, social disparity, incredibly, profoundly, prolifically beautiful nature world of jungle, reef, rare and endangered species all are in the mix. The intersection of art and science lies in the practice of observation, of seeing, in asking questions, designing the experiment, creating variations on a theme. We are at an intersection of secluded jungle yet 15 minutes away from services, restaurants and the Caribbean Sea. Why this residency? Akumal will change your life.
