Do you have a project in mind?
Arts & investigation
full board
residency
Apply to our creative residency and tell us about the project you want to develop. You can apply in any discipline - Art, Architecture, Ceramics, Music, Biology, Mycology, Culinary Arts, Fermentation, Regenerative Agriculture, Conservation, Natural Building, Permaculture, etc. The duration will depend on the complexity of the project, usually between two weeks and one month.
With an extensive experience in art & film production, we support you with local knowledge to help you develop the concept and manufacture your own work in the medium or material that you require. We encourage and can facilitate our artists to connect with the community, surroundings and local actors, especially if the project contributes to the well being of local population.

Involvement
Artists may also develop a workshop for kids and the local community during their residency. We encourage the idea of cultural exchange. The artist can teach something, and vice versa. For example an interesting product can be developed with the ancestral knowledge of the local people, such as working with weavers and learning about natural dyes and its techniques.
We are located in the Utcubamba valley which means "cotton valley".
Housing
stone house
The Stone House was designed specifically for artists in residence seeking to live and create immersed in nature. Fully equipped for medium- and long-term stays, it features a private kitchenette, a comfortable living space, and expansive views of the Gocta landscape.
Located next to the GoctaLab art studio, it offers immediate access to creative workspaces, fostering a residency experience where artistic practice, daily life, and the surrounding environment come together in harmony.
