Description

We welcome artists, musicians, curators, scholars, activists, cultural workers and creatives to join our community and support their work in this inspiring mountain setting. Nestled in Peru's Sacred Valley of the Incas (Valle Sagrado de los Incas) in the Cusco Region's Calca district, Chokechaka is situated at an elevation of 9,850 ft (3,000m), just 80 minutes from Alejandro Velasco Astete Cusco Airport. Our year-round residency program hosts 1-8 artists for periods of 1-4 weeks, providing a serene creative environment in the heart of the Peruvian Andes. We prioritize those whose practice shows receptivity to new environments and can be enriched by immersion in different cultures and languages. We value community engagement, shared experiences and cultural exchange.
