Performance Residencies in Chile

La Wayaka Current

Atacama, Chile

La Wayaka Current is an artist-led organization offering unique residency programs in some of the most remote and ecologically significant environments on Earth. Their residencies, based in the Desert (Atacama, Chile), Tropic (Guna Yala, Panama), and Arctic (Sápmi, Norway), provide creative professionals the opportunity to explore pressing socio-political and environmental issues through site-responsive, research-driven, and collaborative practices. These programs allow artists, cultural practitioners, writers, scientists, and others from multidisciplinary fields to immerse themselves in remote, nature-immersive environments while engaging with local indigenous cultures and ecologies. Through a combination of curated and self-directed activities, participants explore themes such as climate change, colonization, indigenous knowledge, and ecological conservation. La Wayaka Current’s goal is to foster a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of art, nature, and social change by supporting projects that encourage environmental awareness and cultural exchange.
