The mountain view at Arquetopia Oaxaca
As part of Arquetopia’s mission, we promote international experiences in the field of culture by promoting Mexico and Peru’s rich and diverse artistic heritage. We are aware that understanding the local cultural context and complexity is key for a successful cultural exchange; therefore the Writers Residency offers a flexible program that provides the necessary social and cultural research and aesthetic resources to connect the writer’s project with the context of Mexico or Peru. All proposals are welcome.
As our approach is contemporary, we welcome writers from diverse genres: poetry, prose, drama, screen and playwriting, children’s literature, journalism including magazine articles and editorials; as well as translators and editors who are interested in creating work while experiencing specific cultural expressions from Mexico and/or Peru.
Each residency is unique, based on the residency research needs and the writer’s proposal. Residents are chosen on the basis of artistic merit and evaluation of the proposed project.
