Kala Yatra is an artist-run non-profit collective in Kathmandu that curates concept-driven exhibitions, socially engaged projects and residencies, and runs workshops with the surrounding community. Residents get a room with linens, private or shared bathroom, shared kitchen, wifi, common working space, hot water and weekly housekeeping, plus a digital guidebook and optional airport pickup. What it mainly offers is a working art community and Nepal's socio-political landscape as material: cross-border, cross-disciplinary exchange, with room for a deliberately non-productive mode — research and reflection with no deadline or deliverable attached.

publicSeo.openCall.eligibility

Open to artists of any background and nationality, with explicit priority given to practitioners who are usually under-represented. Stays start at two weeks and extend to a month or more, subject to availability. Applications — artist statement, CV, portfolio link, up to ten recent works as a PDF and a passport copy — go by email; there is no deadline, but visa, travel and insurance need lead time.
