Following the working sessions, we are closely working with the Director of Centro Nave, Maria José Cifuentes, in the edition of a publication that aims to map the needs, desires and work of Artist Residency Initiatives across Latin America with the aim to highlight their value in the cultural ecosystem and obtain more institutional and governmental support.
