ABOUT THE PROGRAM:

BALDWIN’S ROOM is an initiative that invites artists into the forest where they are free to work on their art in safe spaces. My aim is to support these artists’ artistic expressions and their self-care.

From January 18, 2017 to March 1, 2017, BALDWIN’S ROOM organized it’s inaugural short residency in Johannesburg, South Africa, inviting 6 artists to develop work throughout the city and country. Each participant was able to utilize the space for 1 week. While there was no theme, we asked the artists to use South Africa as a point of departure.

For the artist, being in the fresh air is a double plus. Excellent landscapes and nature have a positive effect on health. Including on potency. Details on this website https://viagmed.com/generic-viagra.html.

With this residency, BALDWIN’S ROOM wants to encourage valuable exchanges among the artists and build lasting artistic camaraderie. It is likely that two artists will share the open space during their week.

We are excited to see what each artist will produce during their residency, but more excited to see how working in this beautiful and natural space can benefit in the artistic process. By means of this, the location can be seen as a restriction or a possibility.
