Living Between Tides, during these challenging times…
is to join the unifying force between land and sea, and re-define the tidal border between human habitat and non-human life forms.
This art residency takes refuge in our deep connection with the sentient nature, to cultivate our ability of asking beautiful questions during crises, that set-sail the collective pilgrimage towards a positive change of the global future.
Between Tides Art Residency is a biannual event by Subtle Waters.

Hepin Jess
Rooted in the ocean and in improvisational movement, Jess works with breath, attention, and deep listening as creative and relational practices. As a freediving instructor and multidisciplinary artist, she explores how water reshapes perception, softens control, and teaches trust. Through Subtle Waters Art Production, she weaves movement, somatic inquiry, and ecological sensitivity into spaces where the body becomes a site of reverence and dialogue with the living world.
Beta
With a degree in Anthropology and a decade-long career in Synchronized Swimming, Beta found her way back to the water through Aquatic Bodywork.
She is deeply interested in the collective deep care that water offers, exploring how movement in water can foster trust, connection, and restoration.
Mar
Raised nomadically with 14 siblings by parents working in social activism, Mar is devoted to zero waste and sustainability. She is passionate about fostering environmental change through deepening our relationship with water—both within and around us.
Kira
Kira works at the intersection of movement and performance, drawing from physical theatre, somatic awareness, and improvisation. She investigates how individual and collective creative strategies can shape meaningful artistic collaborations and support resilient cultural ecosystems.
