Kaaysá is a residency for artists, writers and other creators who wish to develop their poetics from intimate contact with the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, the sea and community of fishermen, “caiçaras” and natives that inhabit their environment. We are an autonomous organization that contributes to artistic development through the construction of a creative and collaborative network.
Kaaysá Residency is an immersive 3 to 4-week program designed for up to 12 residents, including artists and other creatives, selected by a dedicated committee. Participants form a multidisciplinary team, engaging in activities specifically tailored to their specialties and aligned with the group’s overall theme or needs.
Programs include experiences, expeditions, interdisciplinary exchanges, rituals, integrative practices, approaches to the local community and follow-up of projects by mediators.
