Arts-based Social
and Cultural Interventions
Art residencies in remote villages or socially disadvantaged neighborhoods foster short-term collaborations with local residents to create projects that celebrate the community’s distinct culture, history, and challenges. These initiatives aim to help to amplify local voices through creative expression, fostering understanding and empowerment within the community.
