By hosting creatives— artists, curators, and writers—from different backgrounds, the Masaha Residency is a safe space that encourages cross-cultural collaboration, allowing residents to take an active role in their growth by offering access to funding, mentorship, masterclasses, workshops, studio spaces, and exposure to audiences through a showcase and publication. 

It is our desire to see the growth of our residents extend beyond the walls of Masaha by aiding them in creating a sustainable network that will propel their careers and elevate the arts. Within the pages of this first of many publications, you are granted access to the often-enigmatic aspects of what goes on behind studio doors.
