Ecology of Exchange

An Ecology of Exchange is a 3.5-week self-funded residency in Joshua Tree, California for writers, poets, musicians, choreographers, dance artists, and artists working in ephemeral, performance, or video installation forms. We also welcome journalists, scientists, and researchers with an active creative practice. This September, three residents from different disciplines share two houses in the high desert, with private sleeping space, shared living areas, and a dedicated movement studio. There is no required collaborative project or theme. Instead, the residency creates conditions for cross-pollination: the possibility that one person's way of seeing may alter another's way of working.
