a cobert
a cobert is a place for artistic creation, production and research located in Moià (Barcelona) that supports artists through residencies, workshops, and critical thinking activities. Rooted in feminist and community-based values, the organisers aim to make art accessible and closely connected to everyday life, collaborating with local communities, schools and cultural organizations to strenghten the regional artistic and cultural ecosystem.
The organisers are interested in emerging artists and experimental and critical practices, seeking to give them the space, resources, support and display to grow and keep on creating in a meaningful and ethical way.
a cobert’s residency programme provides artists and researchers with the space, resources, and support needed to develop creative and research projects in a unique rural environment that fosters focus and experimentation. Beyond artistic production, the program emphasizes public engagement, community participation, and knowledge exchange, making contemporary art accessible to local audiences as well as promoting national and international circulation.
The residences are aimed at artists and researchers over the age of 18, as well as groups of people in creative processes, from any field and artistic discipline: plastic arts, visual arts, performing arts, literature, cinema, performance, science and technology, gender studies, history, etc. They do not host musical projects due to their specificity.
The residences are open to people of any nationality and language as well as without age limit or distinction of origin, current residence, gender, sexual orientation, etc. They work with small groups, with a simultaneous stay of between 2 and 4 people, to make coexistence between projects something non-distorting and to be able to offer the care, space and artistic advice that the projects require with quality and dedication.
The accommodation is located just a few metres from the studio, at Cal 13 Bis. They offer an individual room with access to fully equipped shared spaces: kitchen, living room, terrace, bathroom.
The studio is a 28 m2 room that opens to an outdoor garden. Video, sound, and visual arts equipment, as well as a library, all accessible to resident artists. The space includes an individual desk and a large table for groups or meetings.
