Art to come: residency program

Residency Program Art to come Aid program

Space for artistic processes and collaboration

The residency program is proposed as a platform to rethink the links between creation and collective action, where the political, the common, and the sensitive are activated through methodologies imagined for the context in which they occur. Each invited artist has the possibility of collaborating with an artist based in Madrid, which enriches the dialogue with the local context and expands the forms of exchange.

Residency Program 2025/2026

In this first edition, curated by Ane Rodríguez Armendáriz, the residency programme is organised into three cycles with six artists whose practices, although diverse, share an interest in ways of doing and sharing. As a starting point, it proposes to reflect on its own nature, as a place of collective construction, a space that is defined both by its physical dimension and by the relational dimension, the affections and the imaginaries that cross it.

Residents

Andrea Canepa

Cycle 1: November 10 – February 15

In collaboration with María Jerez, the visual artist Andrea Canepa proposes 'First movement', a project that imagines the residence space based on the theory of affordances and the notion of score, understood as conditions that define possibilities for action. The proposal seeks to create a piece that remains in place and that functions as an open score for future collective experiences.

Andrea Canepa grew up in Peru and lives in Berlin. She works mainly with installations, textiles and performance. She studied Fine Arts in Lima and Valencia, where she received her MFA. She has received scholarships and awards internationally and has participated in residencies such as Gasworks, Jan Van Eyck Academie or Cité des Arts among others. He will soon inaugurate several projects in Spain, including a solo exhibition at the IVAM.

María Jerez places her work "between" choreography, cinema and visual arts. If in his first pieces he explored theatrical and cinematographic conventions and their relationship with the spectator, in his recent projects he opens spaces of potentiality through encounters with the strange and the alien, blurring the boundaries between the known and the unknown, the object and the subject, the organic and the artificial, the animate and the inanimate.

Vir Andres Hera

Cycle 1: November 28 – February 28

Vir Andrés Hera conceives the residence as a territory of transit and translation, where bodies, knowledge and affections are grafted onto each other. With the collaboration of Juf, his proposal will explore ideas such as "traveling between worlds", inspired by María Lugones, activating the Mexica mythological figure of Coatlicue as a hybrid and mutable presence to think from diasporic memory, fiction and critical hospitality.

Vir Andres Hera works between expanded cinema, installation and critical writing. Her work explores diasporic consciousness, gender identity, and memory through audiovisual montages that intertwine personal and collective archives, destabilizing colonial narratives. A graduate of Le Fresnoy – Studio National des Arts Contemporains, he has exhibited in different international institutions.

Juf is a curatorial and research project around contemporary art and poetry, directed by Bea Ortega Botas and Leto Ybarra, currently based between New York and Madrid. She has organized exhibitions, performances and readings at A Tale of a Tub (Rotterdam), Small Press Traffic (San Francisco), 99CANAL (New York), Judson Memorial Church (New York), Gasworks (London), La Casa Encendida (Madrid), among other places.

Luz Broto

Cycle 2: November 12 – 27 and March 1 – 30

Luz Broto will generate a specific proposal from the encounter with the framework proposed by the residency and its intention to put this space in relation to the community that surrounds it. Their practice is made up of actions that, through formats such as intervention, route, or protocol, alter the everyday and make visible the forms of encounter that sustain common life.

Luz Broto's practice focuses on the use of built space, the social relations it generates and the relationship between the body and the environment. It carries out specific actions and interventions for different contexts, public or private spaces, and at different scales such as architecture, urban planning or territory. He has collaborated with institutions such as Manifesta14 (Prishtina), Secession (Vienna), FLORA (Bogotá), MACBA (Barcelona), Azkuna Zentroa (Bilbao) or CA2M (Madrid).

Agustina Fioretti

Cycle 2: February 16 – March 30

Agustina Fioretti investigates how recipes are transformed when moving between territories, which ingredients are replaced, which circulate globally and which are impossible to translate. Based on collective cooking and stew as a methodology, she works on oral transmission, the colonial routes of food and the translation processes that produce new situated forms. Collective cooking and conversation function as tools to rehearse ways of being together and to build research and archive in common. This research will allow us to think of the kitchen as a place from which to build community and activate memories in the context of a residency.

Agustina Fioretti (1991, Argentina) is a visual artist based in Barcelona. He has his studio at Tangent Projects, where he is part of the lead team. With a background in Economics and photography at the International Center of Photography New York, her practice reflects on her own migration in dialogue with that of previous generations, questioning the boundaries between the human and the non-human, memory and materiality. Through her work with archives -from family to institutional-, oral stories and rituals of passage, her work addresses liminality as a space of transit and metamorphosis. It uses different media such as installation, video, photography, texts and performance to deepen research on these topics.

Diseño sin título – 2025-11-18T132051.031

Mariana Murcia

Cycle 3: April 1 – June 30

Mariana Murcia will approach the residency as a space where knowledge is generated and circulated. Her project is inspired by the idea of "making a school" outside of production systems and by the creation of a shortwave radio as a means of connecting the living space with the neighbourhood, amplifying the voices and murmurs that make up its environment. Mariana will collaborate in this project with the artist Sofía Montenegro.

Murcia is an artist and swimmer. Her practice insists on creating and being in situations that call for a certain radical presence. It often works in collaboration with bodies of water, temperature, electromagnetic waves, and other people. He lives between Basel and Seyðisfjörður. She is part of the collectives Escuela de Garaje, a diasporic art education project, and the LungA School, an independent art school.

Sofía Montenegro develops her work between installation, sound, image and the stage. She studied Fine Arts and Cultural Studies between Utrecht and Madrid, and an MA in Art Praxis at the Dutch Art Institute. Her artistic practice incorporates various methodologies that link the visual with the sound and action in a space, looking for ways to produce images in thought.

Valentina Desideri

Cycle 3: April 1 – June 30

Valentina Desideri will propose a residency understood as a studio, where artistic practice is confused with studio practice. During her stay, she will work on two chapters of her ongoing book (Political Therapy and Performance as Study) offering collective and individual sessions of political therapy and collaborating with performing artists from Madrid to explore how performance can become a form of shared studio. To this end, he will collaborate with Vito Gil-Delgado.

Desideri explores artistic creation as a form of study and study as a form of artistic creation. She is an artist and currently a researcher at the Centre for the Arts and the Political Imaginary (CAPIm) of the Royal Academy of the Arts & HDK-Valand in Sweden. She holds a PhD in Race, Gender, Sexuality and Social Justice (University of British Columbia), a Master of Fine Arts (Sandberg Institute) and a Bachelor of Arts in Dance-Theatre (Laban)

Vito Gil-Delgado is a museum educator, artist, and writer. From 2009 to 2025 she worked in the education department of CA2M - Museo Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo in Madrid. She was responsible for educational programs and conducted workshops and activities with diverse audiences. Her research (both artistic and literary as well as educational) focuses on the power of performance, amateur art and collective processes and on how to make art a meeting place capable of opening and multiplying the possibilities of the world.

Public Program

The public programme is structured along two main lines. On the one hand, a study group led by artists in residence, where the work and research processes are shared. On the other, a series of workshops and seminars with external guests who contribute other perspectives and languages. These lines, together with activities open to diverse audiences, create a space for study and meeting where the practices of residents and the contributions of other agents intersect. The relational dimension that arises from these interactions, affections and shared learning defines the open nature of the program.

Every beginning is a rehearsal

Through this program we intend to open the work processes of the artists in residence to share and enrich them through the new conversations that are being woven. It will include study group sessions led by the resident artists themselves, as well as a series of workshops and seminars taught by invited individuals whose research resonates with the topics being explored. It is proposed as a space where we can think together, where we can conspire from different references and languages, and explore ways of moving from reflection to action. A place to try out other ways of being and doing, where coexistence, listening and mutual attention are understood as affective practices of encounter. A small-scale essay on modes of relationship that can be transferred beyond the space of the residence.

Sesión 3 del programa público de las residencias de Arte por Venir

Agenda Public Program

Study group session 1 with Andrea Canepa

November 13 5 pm - 8 pm Registration

The session is divided into two complementary parts. The first part will address the concept of affordances, and the second part will be dedicated to the notion of score, conceived as a device that organizes action. Through practical exercises and references from experimental music, dance, literature and visual arts, the potential of the score as a tool to collectively think about the relationship between instruction, context and action will be explored.

Public session. Performance and conversation

December 16 6 pm - 8 pm

Performance by Nina Glocker followed by a conversation with Andrea Canepa that will revolve around the shared interest in scores and structures, approached from the theory of affordances and the rehearsal as a possible mode of production.

Study group session 2. Workshop with Nina Glockner

December 17 5 pm - 8 pm Registration

Nina Glockner proposes a session focused on open and social scores, exploring how collective reflection can become collective action and how the rehearsal can operate as a mode of production. The session will combine body and practical exercises, a presentation on their artistic work and a performative conversation as a closing.

Study group session 3 with Vir Andres Hera and Juf

January 13, 2026 5 pm to 8 pm By registration

This session proposes a collective space for reading, conversation and activation around a constellation of texts that address the concept of world-travelling, as well as issues of queer time and its forms in artistic practice. Based on authors such as María Lugones, Fred Moten, Rasheeda Phillips, Phoenix Atala, Ashkan Sepahvand or M. NourbeSe Philip, notions of queer temporality, diasporic affect, body archive and gesture as language will be worked on.

Public session. Visual conversation between Belinda Kazeem-Kamiński and Vir Andres Hera

February 10, 2026 6 pm - 8 pm Free admission until full capacity is reached

Vir Andres Hera and Belinda Kazeem-Kamiński will share fragments of their audiovisual works in a visual conversation that intertwines archive, memory and spectral presence. The session will propose a crossover between languages where the phantasmatic, the affective and the political mutually sustain each other.

Study group session 4. Workshop with Belinda Kazeem-Kamiński

February 11, 2026 5 pm - 9 pm By registration

This workshop invites participants to critically reflect on how the aftermath of colonialism, slavery, and racial capitalism continue to shape how we relate to other people, realities, and worlds. Based on Avery Gordon's notion of ghostly affairs and research into the aftermath of violence, we will ask what it means to pay attention to ghostly presences that disturb recognition and relationship. Through collective reading, listening, writing, and community cooking, we will think and feel together.

Study group session 5. Workshop with Agustina Fioretti

February 17, 2026 5 pm – 8 pm By registration

The session proposes an instance of collective work around food, conceived as the first methodological space of the project presented by Agustina Fioretti. Through conversation and exchange, the proposal opens a space to trace the trajectories of food, colonial routes and the processes of deterritorialization and reterritorialization that cross them. The work is presented as the dismantling of a recipe, understood as a set of ingredients, stories and knowledge, attending to their transformations in the displacement between territories.

Public session. Conference with Valeria Mata

February 24, 2026 7pm – 8:30 pm Free admission until full capacity is reached

Valeria Mata, a researcher and social anthropologist whose work explores the intersections between artistic practices, anthropology and food culture, will give a lecture in which she will share some lines of her research on the social and political dimensions of food. Based on notions such as commensality, interruption or the transfer of methodologies between practices, the proposal will open a space for reflection from which to situate food as a cultural and political practice, and as a starting point for thinking about broader processes of work, relationship and production of knowledge.

Study group session 6. Workshop with Valeria Mata

February 25, 2026 5 pm – 8 pm By registration

Starting from the kitchen as a space of thought, the session led by Valeria Mata will propose the kitchen as a place of interruption and methodological transfer, from which to try out forms of situated research and think about how certain gestures and knowledge move between different work processes.

Study group session 7 with Luz Broto

March 10, 2026 5 pm – 8 pm Registration

This session proposes to share the research process that Luz Broto is carrying out, around the relationships that can be established between the residency program and the spaces and communities in which it is inserted. In this meeting, the process will be opened to experience it collectively, through guided tours and protocols, with the space in which we will meet, to test different ways of moving and relating to this framework. A new building, without knobs or keys. A card that opens all doors. A thief. An anecdote.

Public session. Conference with Lucía Jalón

24 March 6pm - 8pm Free admission until full capacity is reached

Between the architectures of Infinito Delicias and its motto "Where everything flows", the architect Lucía Jalón will propose a reflection on the minor based on a work of annotation, relationship and shared speculation on materials that cross place, history and thought in relation to architecture. The talk will ask about the possibility of genuinely deploying languages, horizons, and minor actions in an era whose circulatory imperative transforms frames into channels, assimilates the polysemy of contexts with probability models, and turns any difference into a financial asset.

Study group session 8. Workshop with Lucía Jalón

March 25, 2026 5 pm – 8 pm By registration

Based on the work carried out in the public session, the study group will open a space for collective reflection on what forms minor practices take today, in what conflicts and conditions of hardship they emerge, and what possibilities they offer. It will be a matter of thinking, from a shared listening, what an analogical solidarity could mean today when it comes to situating and testing repertoires of common practices and micro-policies.

Study group session 9 with Mariana Murcia

April 21, 2026 5 pm - 8 pm By registration

Starting an essay is, in a way, starting to make a school. The essay can be thought of as a performative act that is not only related to the production of knowledge, but also to the ways in which we learn, live together and get involved in everyday life. From there, the session proposes to attend to each situation, relationship or process as something not yet fixed, which requires constant listening, testing, choice and reformulation. Assuming the uncertainty of the essay implies accepting not knowing, the risk of making mistakes and the possibility of opening up to other forms of learning and relationships, understanding that the processes of trial and error are a constitutive part of any experience of shared knowledge.

Public session. Conversation by Ericka Florez and Mariana Murcia

April 28, 2026 6 pm - 8 pm Free admission until full capacity is reached

As part of the public program, Mariana Murcia and Ericka Florez will share an open conversation about the ways in which knowledge, informal pedagogies and situated forms of learning circulate. Based on Mariana's interest in schooling practices and the transmission of knowledge in artistic and social contexts, the session will propose to think together about how collective learning spaces are built, what relationships are established between experience, memory and territory, and how certain artistic practices can activate other forms of attention, listening and production of shared knowledge.

Study group session 10. Workshop with Ericka Florez

April 29, 2026 5 pm - 8 pm By registration

In continuity with the public conversation, the study group session with Ericka Florez will open a collective work space to delve into the ways in which knowledge is produced, circulated and transformed in situated contexts. Based on her practice, linked to artistic research, writing and critical pedagogies, the session will invite us to think about learning processes as relational spaces crossed by memory, affection and experience. It will try to rehearse forms of listening and shared reflection that allow us to attend to the conditions from which we learn, teach and build knowledge in common.

Study Group Session 11 with Valentina Desideri

May 12, 2026 5 pm - 8 pm By registration

Political Therapy is an artistic practice that borrows elements from the therapeutic field and attempts to address, through physical contact, any political issue that we face or want to spend time with. So far, Valentina Desideri has practiced political therapy primarily in individual sessions, but for this study group she proposes experimenting with a group version of the practice.

Public session. Reading with Echo with Valentina Desideri and Denise Ferreira da Silva

June 2, 2026 6 pm - 8 pm

Valentina Desideri and Denise Ferreria da Silva present Reading with Echo, an experiment in collaborative creation and speculative reading. In this session, they will perform a public reading with the Echo Tarot deck, a tool built collectively over six years that intertwines intuition, poetry and poetic-political thought. Inspired by poems by Ai Ogawa and practices such as reiki or tarot, this deck proposes new ways of reading, listening and linking with the present. The reading invites the audience to participate in a shared moment where interpretation, affection and thought are intertwined without hierarchies.

Study group session 12 with Valentina Desideri and Denise Ferreria da Silva

June 3, 2026 5 pm - 8 pm By registration

In the last session of this year, Valentina Desideri and Denise Ferreria da Silva will share the process and methodologies behind Reading with Echo, an experiential reading practice. The workshop will revolve around the Echo Tarot, a deck built from poetic readings by Ai Ogawa and other intuitive practices such as tarot and reiki. The session will include moments of reading, shared practice and reflection on what it means to read together.
