Utsha Foundation Residency

About the Residency

Utsha Residency is a space where creative minds devoted to diverse disciplines come together to create, interact and reflect upon the complex discourses through their work. Exchange of techniques, experiences, and skills across countries under the ambit of a facilitated residency is always useful in understanding cultural diversity. Our Residency Programme is customized to support the specific needs of artists working in multiple disciplines from around the world.

Started in 2012, Utsha has hosted Residencies for over 40 Artists, Poets, Scholars, and Writers from Odisha, India, and abroad.

Residency Models

Utsha hosts Residencies under 3 core models:

  • Individual Residency: Customized support for independent artistic practice and research.
  • Group Residency: Collaborative discourse and shared space across creative disciplines.
  • Collaborative Residency: Cross-cultural and interdisciplinary exchanges bridging local and global dialogue.
