Encounter Co-Host, Methodologist and Editor

Mar 2021 - Apr 2022
Together with my colleague Sally de Kunst, Director of the Museums' Quartier in Bern, we developed a workshop methodology to structure the largest encounter of residency spaces in Latin America to date, over six working sessions, with dozens of partners from the region and some from Europe. 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.
