Past Residency: 2025 Edition
Fluid Worlds
Following the inaugural residency awarded to Shezad Dawood, who will undertake his residency at Patina Maldives in October 2026, the programme continues to foster creative exploration.
We are thrilled to announce Shezad Dawood as the winner of our inaugural Patina Art Residency
With more than a decade spent in dialogue with marine biologists and environmentalists, Shezad’s interdisciplinary practice connects art, science and environmental advocacy. His fascination with marine ecology and his exploration of hybrid thinking across both human and marine ecosystems aligns closely with the 2025 Theme, "Fluid Worlds", which invites artists to examine how boundaries shift and change, whether between cultures, ideas or elements.
During his residency, Shezad will undertake extended fieldwork at Patina Maldives, deepening his practice through direct engagement with the islands’ endangered reef systems, local coral researchers, and communities.
