Where the Isthmus Meets the Imagination

For six weeks in the summer of 2026, the Muholi Art Institute transformed Panama into a living studio. The MAI PANAMA Residency wasn't merely a change of scenery; it was a collision of worlds. Here, at the crossroads of the continent, where the Pacific meets the Atlantic and the jungle meets the skyline, our residents dove deep into the complexities of transit, biodiversity, and memory.

This is the work born from that heat, that light, and that dialogue.
