residencies

2026

for those ready to become a fool — to sacrifice the intellect to the Unknown. not just the passive sacrifice of an empty mind, but the active sacrifice of setting out on the fool's journey of openness and curiosity.

a sanctuary for creative weirdos. a place where nothing and everything can be sacred. every idea within reason (yes) is up for serious discussion or a good joke.

this year: longer stays. limited move-in days. tighter curation. 100% co-created schedule.

writers who need to finish the thing. renegade scientists. artists developing something they can't yet name. researchers of consciousness — human and machine. builders of futures they'd actually want to live in.
