Last year I presented a Zoom lecture about my time at an art residency in Sardinia - It became the jumping off point for the birth of my current work and inspired an ongoing development of examining the female as a vessel - a container of life - past, present and future.
You can watch that presentation here: https://vimeo.com/1075002245?share=copy#t=0
I mentioned a few resources and I know it's hard to watch, listen and take notes all at the same time - so I thought it would be helpful to share them with you.
I've tried to list them in chronological order as best as I am able, but lets start with the residencies:
October 2022 - Heraklion, Crete - https://lakkosartistsresidency.weebly.com/
April 2024 - Kavala, Greece (they now offer other places in Greece as well) - https://eutopiaart.com/
September/October 2024 - Milis, Sardinia - https://www.nocefresca.it/
December 2024 - Sointula, BC Canada - https://www.sointulaartshed.ca/
For residency ideas in other parts of the world - https://resartis.org/ - http://www.transartists.org/en
