The residency offers personalized development of graphic projects, individual and group technical lessons, artwork clinics, and the opportunity to present the final work or project at the CDE Gallery. No prior knowledge is required.
Buenos Aires stands as one of the leading cultural hubs in Latin America, distinguished by the vast artistic heritage, diversity, and constant creative production. It offers a comprehensive experience filled with history, art, and contemporary cultural life, making it a high-value education destination with world-renowned museums, theaters, and institutions that serve as fundamental references for visual arts, music, and performing arts in the region.
As a key meeting point for European, Indigenous, and migratory traditions, Buenos Aires has developed a unique identity. It represents an unparalleled opportunity to directly experience its artistic and historical heritage, as well as its vibrant social agenda, reaffirming its relevance as the cultural capital of the region.
Participating artists are expected to view this residency as a period of research, production, and immersion in the graphic arts within the context of a historic lithography studio. This involves not only access to specialized technical knowledge but also the opportunity to engage with an artistic tradition deeply rooted in the neighborhood’s cultural identity.
The residency proposes a workspace where artistic practice intersects with traditional craftsmanship, the exchange of knowledge, and the contemporary exploration of graphic language. Artists are encouraged to develop and refine their techniques through traditional and experimental processes, making full use of the material resources, infrastructure, and expertise offered by a studio of historical and heritage value. The artist is expected to establish an active bond with the workspace, recognizing its historical dimension as a fundamental part of the creative process.
