Running from October 2023 to February 2024, the AlUla Visual Art Residency features seven artists. Bridging art, science, and local narratives, this residency spotlights a unique collaboration between artists and on-site scientific experts, as well as representatives of the local community.
It focuses on research while offering production opportunities, aiming to draw inspiration from the area’s ancient heritage and development, contemplating issues such as interspecies connections, human vs. non-human, local folklore, and tales.
Artists’ processes and outcomes will be showcased in an exhibition at the Arts Festival in February 2024.
