# PATAGONIA ARGENTINA 2027

**Hosted by:** CASA NA ILHA

**Type:** Residency | **Location:** Lago Moreno, San Carlos de Bariloche, Río Negro Province, Argentina | **Deadline:** September 15, 2026

## About This Program

> "Stillness as a bridge for profound connection — with the identity of this new territory, the rhythm of the creative process, oneself and the community of creators; deep listening, observation and expansion in the Patagonian autumn."

PATAGONIA ARGENTINA is a special multidisciplinary residency session right by Moreno lake shores, in Bariloche, Argentina, designed for creators seeking to explore, experiment, and deepen their creative processes within the breathtaking Patagonian autumn. Inspired by practices of deep immersion and connection in ecological paradises, PATAGONIA ARGENTINA invites residents to embrace stillness as a bridge for profound connection: with the identity of this new territory, with the unique rhythm of the creative process, with oneself, and with the community of creators sharing the space. The Patagonian autumn is the threshold of deep listening, observation and expansion.

The forest of coihues and lengas changes its skin before our eyes, inviting us to slow down our pace, understand the cycles of our creative process and thinking, and inhabit a new intimacy with both the natural and human environment. Located in San Carlos de Bariloche, within the Parque Nacional Nahuel Huapi, the residency offers a base on the shores of Lago Moreno, a mountain lake. The environment, characterized by forests of coihues and lengas, serves as a natural laboratory for sensory exploration and site-specific research.

The program integrates independent practice with field trips to cultural and ecological sites around the Circuito Chico, with one curator on site, curated field walks, activities and daily talks, and optional sharing sessions for works-in-progress.
