Centro Selva presents the first artist residency program in the central Peruvian Amazon, aimed at fostering exchange between local and international creators in a context of mutual enrichment.

This multidisciplinary program brings together artists from various disciplines and backgrounds to develop contemporary art practices in the rural Amazon. Through an immersive experience, participants explore different aspects of the region, share knowledge, and create individual and collective artistic projects that engage with the environment and the sociocultural dynamics of the area.
