Description

Up to six residents are hosted at a time, joined by international volunteers who share a creative spirit, a commitment to ORTO’s ethos, and an affinity for nature.
This coexistence creates a vibrant atmosphere of exchange - where spontaneous collaborations, skill-sharing, and friendships naturally emerge and continue beyond t he residency itself.
In 2026, ORTO will further expand its programme of public workshops and talks, inviting local professionals from t he fields of philosophy, science, architecture, and the arts to engage wit h residents and the surrounding community. Through these encounters, ORTO aims to strengthen its role as a bridge between its inner life and the outside world - a place where ideas, people, and disciplines meet in dialogue.

Outcome

The residency brings together local and international artists, writers, architects, designers, musicians, scientists, philosophers, researchers and cultural practitioners who share curiosity and openness. Through shared living and meaningful dialogue, residents are encouraged to question, experiment, and expand their practice in a safe and inspiring environment.
