ITINERANT

RESIDENCIES

Connecting Knowledge
This is a space designed for those who wish to immerse themselves in the heart of communities, share in their daily lives, and learn directly from the masters who preserve and enrich our ancestral traditions. With Itinerant Residencies, we offer a unique experience where knowledge exchange and cultural immersion come alive in their most authentic form.

During your residency, you will stay in one of these communities for a minimum of one week and a maximum of one month.
Throughout your stay, you’ll have the opportunity to learn artisanal techniques of your interest, from ceramics and weaving to embroidery and spinning. Beyond acquiring skills, you’ll experience comprehensive learning, understanding the values, stories, and methods behind each piece.

Your presence in the community is not solely to receive. At Itinerant Residencies, we strongly believe in the power of
exchange. Bring your own knowledge, skills, and unique perspectives. Share your expertise with artisans, creating a two-way flow of learning that enriches both hosts and guests. Whether you have expertise in design, marketing, sustainability, or any other area, your contribution will be valuable and welcomed.

In this space, every day is an opportunity for growth, inspiration, and contribution. Stories intertwine, techniques are perfected, and bonds are forged. At Itinerant Residencies, it’s not just about learning a craft; it’s about experiencing personal and communal transformation.

Discover the richness of our traditions while leaving a meaningful impact on the communities you visit. We are confident that this space promises to change your worldview and yourself.

      At Puntos de Conexión, we believe in the power of collaborative growth, expanding knowledge, and preserving traditions. We achieve this by sharing and spreading ideas. The best way to do it? Traveling, discovering cultures up close, and immersing ourselves in the places that keep these dialogues alive. That's how Residencias Itinerantes was born, and we want you to be part of this journey. We'd love to get to know you, learn about your work, and hear your idea.
