Description
What is the purpose of an artist residency? This is the topic of today’s conversation with Lena Evstafieva of Villa Lena, founder of the art foundation and agriturismo site located in the Tuscan countryside.
Lena shares the evolution of Villa Lena, from developing the residency to expanding into an agriturismo hotel, where artists and guests are invited to engage with the community within the remote surroundings. We dive into the themes of slowness: from the creative benefits of working remote, and why community and artistic production is more essential than ever in post-pandemic times.
