ART + DESIGN + CODE
The residency programme is a core component of our mission to build a new type of design company, that welcomes diverse perspectives from all creative practices and walks of life.
We select local artists from backgrounds that are under-represented in the art industry to create new forms of collaboration between them, our designers and engineers. This has the benefit of bringing diverse, fresh opinions to create completely new outcomes for our clients' problems, benefiting the local creative community and making a positive and long-lasting impact on the design & creative industry.
Our resident artists are free to set up space for themselves in the studio, showcase new work in goya exhibitions, and host workshops for locals to expand their practice and create community awareness. We apply this process to our client projects, running design workshops and hacks with our clients out of which a new brand, design identity, digital or physical product can emerge from.
THE TEAM
Created by goya founder and Creative Director Omar Bakshi, who saw a need for collaboration between the art and design industries, launched the residency and studio space in 2021 together with Curator Sufiyeh Hadian and Architect Sarah Masih-Lal.
