This residency will act as a stimulus to bring to our island a small panorama of contemporary new media used in art making, while also facilitating cultural exchange and creative dialogue in an attempt to solidify the existing international artistic network that pARTage has endeavored itself to build. Artists can work on their own during the residency, or collaborate with each other. However we expect artists to respond to their individual experiences of the island in their works.

Selected artists are provided with accommodation, air travel to and from Mauritius, basic materials and equipment, and a stipend. During the residency period the visiting artists have the opportunity to interact with local artists, art students and the public at large through public lectures and short workshops.
Towards the end of the residency, artists will be required to hold an open studio or an exhibition to show works in progress.
