The Baadii Arts Science Residency 2026 is a transdisciplinary, residential program that brings artists into deep engagement with scientific inquiry. Held at the Aavishkar Centre in Himachal Pradesh, the residency offers an immersive environment where creative practice meets scientific curiosity, encouraging exploratory work grounded in observation, experimentation, and ecological awareness.

Selected participants work closely with a diverse community of mathematics and science educators, researchers, and thinkers. They attend curated learning programs at the Aavishkar campus—each built around critical thinking, elemental understanding, and inquiry-driven learning. Residents are guided to fold the knowledge they gain back into their artistic processes, not with the pressure of producing finished outcomes, but through sharing, growing, and evolving new approaches.

The residency focuses on expanding artistic vocabulary through scientific ways of seeing—imbibing science within the arts to open up fresh possibilities, new methods, and unexpected connections. The program culminates in interactive workshops and an open exhibition, offering a space to reflect, exchange, and present the ideas shaped during the residency.
