My impressions of what these sorts of programs should contain and consist of was based entirely on an outsiders perspective and hearsay. Having just graduated from university, all my previous experience came from a strong studio background and I suppose I somehow thought that that setting would be replicated in the amazon as some sort of microcosm of the "art world" that I was

  Mwamba Mulangala (Zambia, 1976). His artwork is based on an inquiry into the rights and responsibilities of individuals and groups as they struggle to survive and thrive in society, and the relationships between them. This includes personal provocations, the fight for access to equal opportunities, conflict resolution and political activism. His creative journey began with a period of paintings developed from recycling canvases he initially used as paint mixing surfaces. He now creates allegorical pieces that include assemblages and combinations of painting and installation using found and waste material. He studied Art Education at the Evelyn Hone College of Applied Arts and Commerce. Apart from a number of solo exhibitions in Zambia, Mwamba has exhibited at the Dubuque Museum of Art in Iowa and has also been part of group exhibitions in New York City and Los Angeles, including Heidelberg in Germany, and the Dak’Art Africa

Centro Selva Artistes Residencies Centro Selva is happy to present the first artist residency program of the Central Peruvian Amazon. This residency program seeks to create and encourage the exchange between Amazon based artists and foreign artists in  search of mutual enrichment.   It seeks to create opportunities for artists in the Amazon region to work with international artists, and to utilize new spaces  to expand their own artistic possibilities, as well as to  provide international artists the chance to study and create in a unique  and culturally rich area of the world. The CS residency is an artist run program.  In seeking to involve the local artist community, a percentage of the international  participant’s contributions will go towards a fund aiding the participation of local artists. Centro Selva Residency includes: During your stay, we will have a city tour of Pucallpa, with special interest in the art spaces that the city offers, such as Eduardo Meza

History of  Centro Selva "In 1980, the year of my birth, the Riesco Lind family purchased the farm called La Molina in the Campo Verde district in the tropical rain forest of Peru. Later our family business of Margenes del Bosque originated on this land. Although our family farm operations continued, while I was still a child I left there to live in the USA and then Lima. In the last nine years my art has driven me back to revisit roots in Pucallpa. All my current art work connects in one way or another to this land or its people. My six year bachelors degree is from La Catolica University in Lima with a specialization in Painting. My thesis was titled Shipibo–Conibo Survivors, artistic development and influences of a living culture, from drawing to painting. This thesis stu died the art development of the Shipibo-Conibo, a Central Amazonian native community. My masters degree is from a cooperative program between Valand School of Fine Arts, Gothenburg University
