Artist Residencies in Rio de Janeiro with Stipend

Capacete

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

CAPACETE is Brazil's oldest artist residency program, founded in 1998 in Rio de Janeiro by Helmut Batista, operating as an independent, discursive platform for researching and documenting aesthetic, social, and political processes in Brazil and South America. It integrates residents into the local context through seminars, talks, workshops, and exchanges, with programs lasting typically 3 to 12 months. The residency emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches, intercultural exchange, and community involvement, including 8 hours weekly maintenance of the space.
