We're excited to introduce our latest resident artist...

Eddy Wang, US

Living between Toronto and Philadelphia, Eddy Wang is a filmmaker and musician who works across and between mediums. He is a PhD Candidate at the University of Pennsylvania and is part of the Toronto Experimental Translation Collective, where he does much writing and the occasional performance. He comes to the stream of language as a translator, putting words into melody and image. His work often explores the textures of non-belonging, melancholia, and hybridity. Presently, he is interested in the question of forgetting, particularly in its everyday manifestations in image cultures. What is forgetting? How do we forget? Who forgets? These are questions he explores in both his academic and creative work.

This year, his band Ira Dot released their debut album In Blue Time, which is an ode to all things blue: the shade of melancholy, of ocean water, of the body’s maze of capillaries. The album, like his other work, is a fluid expression of identity asunder. You can listen to the record here... https://www.submithub.com/link/ira-dot-in-blue-time

"I intend to use this residency at Cortijo El Moro to write and work on my film. Its quiet environment will offer me a space of introspection that will hopefully "hatch the egg of experience," helping me process the abundance of experience I hold within me and sublimate it into a work of art. I work best in environments of nature, they stir in me a sense of belonging and mental levity that allows me to approach my creative practice anew."

We recently caught up with a resident artist from 2025, to find out what she's been up to since returning to London...

"Since being at the Cortijo El Moro Residency, I have continued to cultivate the pause that it afforded me, and opportunity to rethink some areas in my practice and approach to making that were no longer serving me.

I have set up my studio elsewhere, and been working on some further drawing, continuing on from pieces made during the residency.

I have also been exploring poetry, and am developing a performance piece that I hope to be able to present in the near future.

I exhibited a few works, some of which I made during the residency, in a group show in Camden, London, and performed a poem written in connection to these works in an, 'In Conversation...' event, as part of that show.

Most recently, I have had work selected for another exhibition in the coming months.

I really loved my time at Cortijo El Moro, and the balance that it helped me to find. It really was a magical space, and I carry that positivity forward for my next chapter."

Wonderful, and thanks Laura! We look forward to following your continued creative journey ✨💚

How quickly did those 12 months go?!..

We so hope you filled your creative cup up to the brim in 2025! If not, don't worry there's a fresh opportunity just around the next corner...

We may not re-open our doors until May 2026 but right now is the BEST time to make a commitment to future you.

We understand how life can get in the way, and can have a habit of taking us in the opposite direction of our choosing at times...

Would you love the time, space and perfect setting to focus solely on your creativity in 2026? We think we can help you with this.

We understand this can be an expensive time of year, so for the next 3 weeks only, all successful applicants will be able to secure a residency with just a 25% deposit (usually 50% payable at time of booking). What a wonderful gift this could make! 😉🤶🏽🎄🎁🌟
