Providenza invites applications for its participatory residency programs, taking place throughout the year.

Applications are now open for the second half of 2026 (June through December).

These programs offer a unique opportunity to experience an immersive environment at the intersection of agriculture, artistic practices, and collective living, within the Corsican landscape. Participants join Providenza to explore, learn, contribute to a shared dynamic, and develop personal projects in a supportive and experimental setting. Participation Framework

Participants are invited to take part in the life of Providenza for up to approximately 20 hours per week. This time is generally organized around shared moments in the morning, leaving afternoons free for personal projects, rest, or exploration of the island. Participation is flexible and based on individual engagement, interests, and the collective rhythm of the place.

What You May Experience

Each residency evolves depending on the season, ongoing projects, and participants’ interests. Possible areas of involvement include:

- engaging with agricultural practices (planting, harvesting, caring for the land)

- contributing to the development and maintenance of the site

- taking part in artistic or cultural research and residencies

- participating in shared moments around food, hospitality, and collective life

These experiences are part of a broader process of transmission, experimentation, and collective engagement, without any obligation of productivity.

Program Details

- Time involvement: up to approximately 20 hours per week (flexible framework)

- Duration: minimum one month

- Accommodation & Food: a private tiny house under the trees, access to garden produce, and reimbursement of food expenses up to €50 per week (upon receipts)
