Le Wonder International Research and Creation Residency 2026

Le Wonder is a collective studio managed by and for artists. Located in Bobigny (near Paris), the collective occupies large, disused complexes, shaping the spaces to include collective and individual workshops, a shared pool of machinery, and a space for experimentation. The research and creation residency offered by Le Wonder is not focused on the production of a specific project. Instead, it encourages research and experimentation, whether theoretical, material, or formal. The residency lasts for one month (periods run from September–November 2026, or March–May 2027).
