Visual Strolls
seasonal residency
Visual Strolls is a residency space for artists who share an affinity for landscapes and wilderness, inner and outer. Foresta is changing with every season as the real forest does. In cyclical circularity it celebrates changing seasons of the natural world and of our lives. As snow melts away, as days grow longer, as leaves change colour, as they fly with the wind, as stillness settles in, as warmth returns, as birds cross continents, as apples ripen — at the turn of seasonal moments we invite different artists to bring a new time of the year to Foresta by making a seasonal portrait of time, that later becomes part of the permanent Museum of Seasons.

About Visual Strolls
Visual Strolls is not only an online gallery, an exhibition room, a portrait into the work of the invited artists. It is also a part of our long-term research, understanding arts and creativity as forces that change human states of attention in manifold ways, as forms of cognition and perception, divergent perspectives and poetry of vision, access to intuition and imagination, and empowerment for conscious creation of culture.
