Ways is an art residency and rest space for queer feminist artists.
Artists* and collectives from all genres are invited to come and stay
for self-directed residencies and rest.

Ways offers a space outside of the city and away from regular routines for artists to rest, take a break or catchup on an ongoing project.

It is a place for relative solitude and comfort to recuperate after a project or to begin a new one. Artists at Ways should be prepared for independent living either alone, with their collectives or with other artists who are in the space. The residency is unhosted, so all artists are responsible for their own welfare while on site.

Artists do not need to propose a project for their time at Ways, nor do they need to produce anything during their stay.

Ways is an experimental residency format that offers low-cost access to calm, cosy place for queer artists to shelter temporarily. Artists help the residency remain open and accessible by contributing to the running of the residency while they are there.

Ways aim to offer an alternative to the high-cost, high-production residences that have become the norm.

* inclusive of activists, producers, writers, actors, makers, thinkers, doers, and much more.
