This is what Carmen Almeida had to say about their experience:
“It is very difficult to get your foot in the door as an underrepresented artist. Residencies like this gives us the chance to produce professional work that really represents us; our talent, our vision and our stories.”
Participants were given the chance to collaborate with other creatives, and develop their artistic/producing skills which resulted in individually pieces of work that can be shared digitally. All participants within the programme were mentored by Fio’s Artistic Director, Dr. Sita Thomas.
