The R.o.R., or Rurally Organised Residency, works in a specific way: visiting artists develop a new artistic production or an adaptation of an existing project in interaction with the local community and their own experience of the environment. These projects incorporate contemporary and intermedia art, interdisciplinary connections between art, science and industry, and cultural heritage.
Residencies are designed to raise awareness and bring contemporary research-based artistic and performance practices to a wider audience; to involve students, primary and pre-primary school children in educational workshops and guided tours; to encourage cross-border networking; and to intervene in environments outside conventional gallery spaces.
