ART CONTINUUM NOMADIC RESIDENCY is founded by Sasha Dodo (RU) and Dolores Dewhurst - Marks (UK), who are independent artists engaged in poetry, dance improvisation, performance, and film.

Their artistic work is based on contemplation; through visual arts, movement, and text, they seek pathways to unfold the poetic vision of life and uncover the presence of the unknown. An essential part of the research happens in close relation with nature. They are curious to shape spaces where knowledge can unfold in a mutual stream of creation, providing an environment for investigating body intelligence about spatial awareness and the imagination.

ART CONTINUUM NOMADIC RESIDENCY is designed for international artistic exchange, development, and production of art, existing periodically in diverse country and cities. The organization will announce the location in advance, and open to the artists who are willing to apply.

Currently, the residency is not supported by a foundation or grant scheme. It is run by the team's initiative and resources. The program is based on donations, offering participants to contribute to realistic terms of their fiscal conditions.

The residency program is orientated towards those who are looking for a flexible environment to develop their own creative pathways, to cultivate contemplation of the present moment, poetic vision, and being with nature, in collaboration with other artists. It is open for people with different backgrounds and nationalities, both amateur and professional.
