## Description

Other Lands Other Sounds 2026 is an intensive residential course for collaborative cross-arts practice, taking place from July 31 to August 11, 2026, at the Court of Cavalum, an 18th-century mansion in Northern Portugal. The program brings together visual artists, musicians, and performers for twelve days of collaborative creation, culminating in a promenade performance. Participants will co-create new works across disciplines, including performance, installation, sound, and movement. The program provides tuition, facilitation, use of workspaces, meals, accommodation, and support. There is also a work exchange position for a photographer/videographer and an operations support role for a musician with technical skills.
