Residencies at MAP mima provide an opportunity for artists to develop and present new work.

Artists in Residence focus on creating video work for The Cube at MAP mima – a four-metre-tall and 36-metre-long 360-degree wrap around digital canvas, powered by eight projectors using Resolume mapping software. They are also encouraged and supported to create works for other spaces within MAP mima, including The Node, a video projection space; The North Wall, which features a six-channel responsive soundscape; and the Discovery Ports, a series of illuminated niches in the walls of the foyer for display of small works.

Artists present the works created as part of the residency or deliver workshop projects with the public.
