About Casa Onze
Casa Onze offers a unique artist residency in São Paulo, transforming a domestic space into a creative home where global artists can immerse themselves in Brazilian culture, experiment, reflect and create.
Founded by Lydia De Santis and Frederik Schampers, the name “Onze” refers to “our” in Dutch (the founders’ link), São Paulo’s area code, and also the house number (Travessa Dona Paula 11). The residency house is situated in Higienópolis, Higienópolis, a neighborhood with a strong cultural and educational presence.
