Konvent is a late XIX century nun’s convent and textile colony that has been converted into a multidisciplinary arts centre. It’s a space for art and way of understanding and undertaking cultural practices that are rooted in the territory. Konvent is a creative space that breathes life into disused industrial heritage. It’s a former nun’s convent and textile colony that has been converted into an experimental laboratory both on a personal and artistic level where a diversity of projects converge, especially those which have no place in the frame of institutional culture.

The residencies at Konvent have the goal of becoming a platform to aid artists and creators by providing the adequate conditions of space and concentration required for investigation in a unique environment such as the Cal Rosal textile colony.

For 2023, they offer a new residency format in which they propose 7 different open calls with specific dates for each call. The intention is to give visibility and delve into certain topics, disciplines and contexts that they believe require special attention in the contemporary world we live in, as well as offer the possibility of establishing links with other communities, spaces and festivals.

For the 2023 residency edition, they have chosen themes that move them personally, representing the diversity that exists within artistic creation and our society, choosing to emphasize groups and disciplines that have historically been underrepresented, and making true on the commitment that is given to us as a centre of and for contemporary art and culture, to evolve as a people and society.
