Calama, Chile
I have been offered the unique experience to join six other artists from around the world to create, collaborate and research in one of the driest places in the whole world. By dry I don’t mean boring, dry as in there are areas in this place that rain has never touched in its recorded existence! I will be raising £1700 to take part in a month long residency in the Atacama Desert in Chile, South America at the end of August 2019. Photo Credit: La Wayaka
La Wayaka is a non-profit organisation that gives space and time to artists/creative thinkers in three remote locations (Tropic, Arctic and Desert). Their aim is to engage artists in socio-political and environmental discussions, bringing awareness to a larger audience through site-responsive projects. iPad drawing by Stephanie K Kane
If I reach my full target, the amount raised will be spread between the cost of the residency and put towards return flights London - Calama.
If I exceed my full target, the extra amount will be put towards an exhibition on my return showing the work I have made on this residency.
