We-Che is the place we chose to live and work.
Raom was born in Buenos Aires and Loba in Paris. We are also artists, and as an artistic duo, we lived and worked together in France for 30 years (in Paris and the Champagne region). In 2023, we decided to cross the ocean and settle in Argentina. We made our home in this inspiring place in Patagonia and decided to create our own artist residency program, designed by artists for artists. We have always greatly enjoyed participating in artist residency programs and nature-based art projects. In fact, throughout our careers, we have participated in numerous forms of self-organized collective projects with other artists: large annual exhibitions, community galleries, artist book publications, residencies, land art or sculpture symposiums, art in nature, and site-specific art projects. Today, it is important for us to share our experience, to support and host artists from around the world. This is our way of thanking and perpetuating the immense contribution of all the residency programs in which we participate.
Raom & Loba
Our artistic practice includes stereoscopic photography, drawing, drypoint etching, laser engraving, sculpture, 3D printing, and graphic design. As founders of the We-Che artist residency, we prioritize responsible and environmentally friendly practices. We also strive to create a pleasant working environment and a harmonious community life.
