Program Description

O Castro Art Village is an abandoned rural settlement in the Ribeira Sacra, Galicia. Eight traditional stone houses in ruin, two hectares of forest, a landscape dense with memory and biological life. We are inviting one visual or mixed-media artist, with a particular interest in video or expanded image practices to spend 30 days here during October 2026 and develop a permanent installation integrated into the ruins or the landscape. October in the Ribeira Sacra: the vines turn red across the terraced hillsides, the chestnuts fall, the light becomes horizontal by mid-afternoon. The work should be durably installed and designed to remain in place. We strongly encourage the use of reclaimed and native materials. You will work in close dialogue with a sound artist and architect in residence, mentored by filmmaker Davoud Gerami, and live in a climate-controlled geodesic dome with a full bathroom surrounded by forest.
