The program aims to promote and expand curatorial research processes, intertwining artistic and territorial contexts, and fostering practices that do not necessarily result in conventional exhibition projects. The residency provides financial support, accommodation, and workspace, encouraging critical thinking and dialogue between the two cities. The program emphasizes situated research, mediation, and articulation between contexts, with a focus on ethical-political methodologies and collaborative decision-making.
