POSSIBLE FUTURES _ 1st Edition _ 2020
Created, artistic directed and curated by Gabriela Maciel (Brazil)
Co-curated by Yasmine Ostendorf (Netherlands)
Produced by Isadhora Müller
Directed by Miguel Sayad
Duration of 3 months: May, June and July.
Curated by Gabriela Maciel (Brazil) and Yasmine Ostendorf
This residency program has the participation of national and international artists and curators that create artistic projects related to environmental, cultural and social issues. It invites artists, curators and all people who are interested in thinking and designing new Possible Futures, to enroll.
Throughout this program we will develop projects and works with artistic, cultural, multi-disciplinary and trans-disciplinary approaches.
During the months online, participants will have critical follow-up and individual curatorial assessments with the 2 curators of this program, Gabriela Maciel and Yasmine Ostendorf, and three online collective meetings “From the Void to the Possible Futures through the Arts”, with the residence director, Miguel Sayad. The days and times of the assessments will be scheduled directly between the curators, the director and the participants.
Each meeting with the curators will last approximately 1h to 1.20h and will take place every 15 days, giving the participant time to research and develop their studies and creations between each conversation.
All the participants will be invited to contribute to the GALA – Green Art Lab Alliance manifesto. Since 2012, the Green Art Lab Alliance has established partnerships with institutions in residency projects, seminars, exchanges, workshops, exhibitions and other cultural activities with artists on the subject of climate and environmental changes. For the past 7 years, the network has been active in Europe and Asia and now in South America, with the aim of raising awareness for a global change.
This is also an opportunity to promote new relationships, establish national and international collaborations and cultural partnerships.
