Where the forest becomes your studio.
A residency for artists, writers, and musicians held between Solace, Bunvat, and Kaifwal Foundation.
Open studios this week
Three organisations, one clearing in the forest. Wellbeing, community, and cultural stewardship — held under one roof of trees, so artists arrive with a project and leave having also rested, walked, and made things alongside people outside their own discipline.
Who's behind the clearing
Placeholder descriptions and imagery below — each organisation to supply its own final wording.
Solace
Wellness, retreat, and the practice of slowing down — the wellbeing arm of the residency. Placeholder copy.

Cultural stewardship, open calls, and support for artists working across disciplines. Placeholder copy.

Meers Mini Forest, Hyderabad
A small forest holding a big variety of native trees, walking paths, and quiet — close enough to the city to reach easily, far enough to feel like somewhere else entirely.
