Residencies

DesPrés develops research and creation residencies dedicated to the relationships between arts, the living world, and territory. The artists welcomed come from the performing arts, visual arts, literature, music, and interdisciplinary practices. The residencies foster experimentation and situated approaches, while encouraging encounters between artists, researchers, artisans, and local partners. Several projects take shape directly in the ecocultural meadow and explore the links between contemporary creation, ecology, and landscape.
