Description

2415 Art Residency is an independent, artist-run, non-profit residency program based in Lijiang China, dedicated to fostering artistic development and supporting artists' projects. The name 2415 symbolizes not only our altitude but also a distorted sense of time—a moment where midnight and the unknown blur together. In Chinese as 右上川, takes its name from a structural marking used in traditional Naxi architecture to indicate the positioning of beams and framework.

2415 Art Residency is situated in Lijiang, China, at an altitude of 2,415 meters, offering a unique vantage point for artists and researchers to explore the intersection of ecological fragility, cultural transformation, and high-altitude perception.
Lijiang’s geographical and historical positioning as a borderland of shifting identities and environmental transitions makes it an ideal space for interdisciplinary artistic inquiry. They encourage projects that critically engage with site-specificity, interrogating the tensions between natural landscapes and human interventions, living traditions and historical erasure, global circulation and localized resilience.
With a focus on ecological and cultural shifts, 2415 Art Residency serves as a platform for exploring the dynamics of change, survival, and adaptation in a world of accelerating transformations.

Outcome

Completion of an artistic project during the residency, along with a written residency reflection.

Selected works or documentation may be featured on the 2415 Art Residency website and social media.
