Te Whare Hēra Artist Residency

Stimulating the production of high quality, innovative, creative work in Te Whanganui-a-Tara/Wellington, making a visible difference to the cultural lives of our local community.

Artist in Residence for February - April: Camille Bleu-Valentin

Camille Bleu-Valentin is a French multidisciplinary artist with an approach that reflects the singularity of a complex French heritage, as she herself is a descendant of both colonizers and the colonized.

She is currently continuing her research in several countries, with the goal of taking visual and plastic arts beyond major urban centers to benefit territories that are sensitive, traumatized, and far removed from cultural offerings. Camille will be joining us at Te Whare Hēra for February to April 2026

“The Te Whare Hēra programme supports artists to research, develop and produce a new and innovative contemporary art project. The residency provides artists with the time and space to complete such a body of work and to examine, map out, experiment, make connections, exchange ideas, and collaborate.”
