Artistic Residencies
RESEARCH & EXCHANGE
Our Residencies are an interdisciplinary program that opens up a space for analysis, research and creation in deep dialogue with its context. Thus, the location models the practices on, and modifies both its participants and the local communities.
They aim to highlight the value of local knowledge as means to re-think how rural environments can position themselves in an era of massive urbanization considering social, historical and geographical perspectives.
The program is intended to all artists and researchers who wish to work with the notions of body, territory and spatiality. Throughout their stay, participants conform a temporary community that shares experiences and processes fostering debate, collaboration, and a transversal perspective of their projects.
The residency periods may be from one up to six months, being two months the minimum recommended for the full development of a project.
Participants are encouraged to keep in touch with us after their stay ends, being our intention to promote their work in forthcoming exhibitions as well as in papers, conferences and / or publications curated by our platform.
To date, the program has hosted more than 300 artists from different fields, positioning itself both regionally and internationally.
