A. Farm International Residency Program, hosted by Chateau Orquevaux, situates itself in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, inviting creative practitioners to engage with the cultural dynamics of the country's largest urban center. The program is self-directed, allowing artists to pursue their own work without prescribed thematic constraints. It supports a broad spectrum of visual arts disciplines, from traditional media such as painting, sculpture, and photography to new media, performance, and interdisciplinary practices. This openness reflects a curatorial vision that values individual inquiry and cross-cultural exchange, rather than imposing a singular narrative. The residency does not provide funding, and applicants should be prepared to self-finance their stay. In return, artists gain access to the context of Ho Chi Minh City—a rapidly evolving metropolis with a rich artistic community—and the institutional framework of Chateau Orquevaux, which has a history of facilitating international artistic exchange. The program is open to artists at various career stages, from emerging to established, suggesting an environment that accommodates diverse levels of experience and professional trajectories. While the residency is self-directed, the opportunity to work in Vietnam may appeal to those seeking to develop projects in dialogue with a specific locale, or to those whose practices are already engaged with themes of place, displacement, or global exchange. The rolling deadline allows for flexible scheduling, though applicants should note that the absence of financial support may shape the scope and duration of their proposed residency. This is a program best suited for artists who have the means to independently support their time in Ho Chi Minh City and who are motivated by the prospect of immersive cultural engagement.
