This August 2026, SOPRA SOTTO invites an interdisciplinary group of artists, creatives, and culture shapers to the International Theosophical Centre (ITC) for a one-week residency to explore the theme: Bridging Inner/Outer Worlds: Speaking to the Unseen through Colour, Shape, and Symbol.
The residency explores art and creativity as a language that bridges the tangible and the intangible. The theme looks at the meeting point between the material world of sensory perception and the immaterial world of spirit, intuition, the subconscious, and inner knowing.
The residency offers space to collectively explore subtler layers of reality, using art as a way to listen, sense, and interpret what lies beyond immediate visibility. In this context, we explore how art can reveal the deeper, unseen currents shaping both the individual subconscious and the collective unconscious.
Art becomes a form of communication with the subconscious through symbol, myth, and archetype, expressed beyond the rational or intellectual. A message is not only received by the conscious mind, but by the whole being as vibration, frequency, and emotion, through colour, sound, geometric form, and light. Through resonance rather than explanation, art becomes a conduit for new forms of meaning, connection, and understanding.
This SOPRA SOTTO residency is a transdisciplinary gathering of creatives from diverse practices and backgrounds. A process-based and experimental framework emphasizes communal exploration and collective learning, with the program largely co-created by the residents themselves. Through shared workshops and creative exchange, the cross-pollination of ideas, perspectives, and inspiration naturally emerges.
This residency is organized by SOPRA SOTTO and hosted at the International Theosophical Centre (ITC) in Naarden, a centre dedicated to spiritual inquiry and reflection. Set in a serene natural environment, the residency also offers space to slow down, rest, and reconnect with self, others, and the more-than-human world.
