In 2025, one proposal will be selected to join the “Bom Dia” OASis Residency, at Cultivamos Cultura for a period of 7 to 30 days during the month of September

This call is open to international creators / artists / researchers from various fields and disciplines, as well as practitioners and experts that operate at the intersection of culture and other disciplines.

Cultivamos Cultura value projects that are inspired by local or natural materials, have a strong ecological interest and are rooted in a care for a sustainable future of an expanded and diverse community. Within the OASis project, interaction with the community and exchange with international artists are valued.

The town of São Luís and the county of Odemira has a vibrant and culturally rich community, and CC encourages residents to immerse themselves in this dynamic atmosphere. Additionally, the residency fosters collaboration between creators and the community, while also cultivating synergies between different residencies.

The residents must produce an output that will be included in the group exhibition of the OASis project in 2027. Documentation of the residency will be presented on webpages and social media of the partners and the project itself. Cultivamos Cultura expects an output to be added to its collection at the end of the residency.
