Arquetopia’s International Artist-in-Residence Programs offer professional and academic opportunities for artists, designers, curators, academics, and writers globally. Known for their inclusive, non-exploitative, and process-oriented model, these programs emphasize artistic research, social justice, and sustainability. Residencies are tailored to participants, with individualized mentoring, critical academic content, and themes addressing art, culture, and ethics.

Programs focus on questioning dominant narratives, incorporating local knowledge, and fostering critical discourse on topics like colonialism, gender, race, and visual culture. Residents explore creative practices while engaging with personalized readings, curatorial guidance, and ethical commitments to reciprocity and responsibility.

Residency features include private accommodations, workspace access, mentoring, and curated academic content. Instructional residencies offer materials and mentorship by master artists. Programs are offered in Puebla and Oaxaca, Mexico; Cusco, Peru; and Naples, Italy, serving as a hub for artistic exchange and transnational dialogue.
