RES.ò2

RESÒ is the new international residency exchange network for art residencies and educational programs and is based in Italy’s Piedmont region. It is conceived as a 3-year project involving three institutions in Italy and three based each in India, Egypt and Brazil.

RESÒ’s goal is to foster new relationships, cultural exchange and creative production, as well as linking artists with the leading contemporary arts institutions in Piedmont, New Delhi, Cairo and Rio de Janeiro.
