Kala Yatra Artist Residency — Kala Yatra International Artist Residency, Nepal, 2025 — 2026

Overview
Kala Yatra Artist Residency announces an open call for its 2025–2026 cycle, situated in Nepal and open to practitioners worldwide. The residency is interdisciplinary in scope, welcoming artists working in film, music, dance, theater, and visual art. This convergence of disciplines suggests a curatorial framework that values cross-pollination and dialogue among diverse practices, rather than isolating artists within medium-specific silos. While the residency does not specify a thematic focus, its location in Nepal implies an engagement with place—its histories, cultures, and contemporary realities—as a potential substrate for artistic inquiry. Artists selected will have the opportunity to develop work within this context, though the exact nature of support, duration, and facilities remains unspecified in the available information. The residency appears to prioritize process and experimentation over finished product, as is typical of residency models. The application requires a CV and artist statement, indicating a standard professional review process. There is no application fee mentioned, and the deadline is not provided; interested artists should consult the organization directly for these details. The residency is global in its reach, suggesting an international cohort and a commitment to fostering transnational artistic exchange.
