IMMERSIVE RESIDENCY PROGRAM
The Immersive Residency Program offers a focused retreat for committed artists. It’s designed for those who wish to dive deeply into their work and reexamine their practice from new perspectives. The program strikes a gentle balance between solitude and cultural engagement. The program includes weekly curated excursions throughout Mexico City to inspire fresh ideas, along with studio time and opportunities for dialogue and feedback. On the final Saturday of the residency, each resident presents a solo show, marking a shared culmination of each artist’s unique journey.
IMMERSIVE PROGRAM EXHIBITIONS
At the end of the residency, studios are transformed into exhibition spaces, where residents present their work in a solo show. The exhibition opens on the final Saturday of the program and remains on display for a couple days, offering a reflective close to their time at Casa Lü Sur.
