About the Theme
We invite artists from various disciplines to join us in this creative journey, exploring the multifaceted theme: “Reimagining Genius Loci: how the movement of people and traditions shapes the Spirit of Place and new communities.”
Genius Loci, or the spirit of a place, is shaped by history, culture, and nature, influencing both architecture and community life. As people move across borders, they bring unique traditions that blend with local heritage, enriching spaces and fostering cultural exchange. Balancing these influences is key to preserving identity while embracing change. Artists Residencies Cultural Association and DOM Art Residence invite artists to ExtrArtis to explore this theme—reinterpreting Genius Loci through art and contributing to the dialogue on cultural heritage, identity, and transformation.
