Taranmana x Kokos Huis inaugurate the Biennial Summer Artistic Residency with Andorran artist Àlex Rispal

With the support of the Andorran Government's International Artistic Residency Grant.

The new Latitude Art Residency has been founded through the alliance between Taranmana Art and Kokos Huis located in Riebeek Kasteel, Western Cape, South Africa, following on the success of the solo exhibition by artist Sonia Bermúdez, held on November 8, 2024, in this historic venue of more than two centuries.

Building on that project, both institutions worked throughout the following year to develop an international artist residency program designed to establish a sustained cultural exchange.

Conceived as a space for creation and dialogue, the residency offers the selected artist curatorial guidance and mentorship, as well as access to a unique working environment: full accommodation at Kokos Huis, and use of its historic hall as both a production site and exhibition space.

This structure allows artists to fully immerse themselves in the social, cultural, and natural context of South Africa, developing works profoundly influenced by their surroundings.
