Open Call Art Residency 

Period June - November 2024

​

​

Estudio Abierto opens the invitation to participate in the call for artistic residences for production, research and curatorship. The program is aimed at artists, cultural managers, curators, designers and researchers to work and live in the city of Oaxaca, Mexico, for a minimum period of 24 days and a maximum of 45 days.

​

The residence is a space for reflection and a trigger for ideas stemming from the meeting of local and world cultural agents.

We are interested in creating dialogues from within the social, economic and aesthetic context of Oaxaca in order to create collective exchanges between producers and local artistic spaces.

​

​

​

 

 VENUES

​

 The house-studio on the outskirts of the city in a semi-rural community in San Francisco Lachigolo just 20 min from the center of the city, we are located at a strategic point where artisans, archaeological zones and traditional markets converge with which bonds can be formed that help boost the creative proposals that artists have while having a reflective exercise regarding practices from the place.

The workshop-gallery is located in the historic center where design shops, galleries, museums and places of interest co-exist.

 

We collaborate with workshops and artists in the city, forming working links between actors in the cultural scene and the artists who come to work and research local work.

​

The residence has a textile production workshop*, if another technique is needed, it would have to be emphasized that, at the moment we do not have collaborations in artisan workshops, only artist workshops (graphics, option of burning ceramic pieces, etc. )

 

• Wool and tufting workshop

• Wood Carving

 

If required, those interested can learn trough the workshops with the artisans to work on their proposals from reflection through the cultural, social, political contact offered by the space.

 

Estudio A is open to the visual creation, photographic, graphic, painting, industrial design, utilitarian objects, assembly forms, etc.

 

The production and results will be shown to the public in an open study format - a one-day results sample, workshop or talk.
