Beyond Conservation:

​​

The program offers in-depth lectures and workshops led by local specialists in the scientific field. This emphasis on scientific education provides participants with a deeper understanding of the natural world, enabling them to integrate scientific knowledge and data into their artistic process and approach to problem-solving. It encourages participants to explore ways to understand and represent the issues facing Amazonia. Through critical examination and collaborative engagement, artists and scientists can collectively develop creative solutions that go beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries.

​

Beyond Conservation values the interdisciplinary collaboration between artists and scientists. It recognizes the unique abilities of both disciplines and aims to leverage them for a more holistic understanding of Amazon's challenges. By combining artistic expression with scientific inquiry, participants can transcend language, race, sexual orientation, and socio-economic barriers to collectively address environmental issues. Collaboration in the residency experience facilitates cultural exchange, respects traditional knowledge, and ensures the inclusion of Indigenous perspectives in the exploration and representation of the Amazon's challenges.

​

The emphasis on these aspects ensures that the Beyond Conservation Artist in Residence program promotes a comprehensive and inclusive approach to exploring, understanding, and addressing the environmental challenges faced by the Amazon rainforest.

Studio Verde's partnership with the Amazon Center for Environmental Education and Research (ACEER) and Amazon Aid to curate The Beyond Conservation Art and Science residency in the Peruvian Amazon rainforest highlights the intersection of creativity, scientific exploration, and environmental conservation. This collaborative approach ensures that the residencies are well-informed and impactful, and contribute to the long-term preservation of the rainforest.

​

The Peruvian Amazon rainforest is one of the most biodiverse regions in the world, housing numerous unique plant and animal species. By bringing together artists and scientists in this setting, Studio Verde promotes interdisciplinary collaboration and fosters a deeper understanding of the rainforest's ecological significance.

​

During these residencies, participants are allowed to immerse themselves in the rainforest environment, conduct research, create artwork inspired by their experiences, and engage with local communities. Such collaborations lead to innovative approaches to addressing environmental challenges, raising awareness about the importance of rainforest conservation, and promoting sustainable practices.

The Beyond Conservation program in the Peruvian Amazon rainforest demonstrates a commitment to fostering creativity, scientific inquiry, and environmental stewardship, while also promoting cultural exchange and community engagement in the Amazon region.
