Argentina / La PlataArquetopiaSUMMER is back!, our flagship residency, is an intensive international critical program aimed at expanding artistic practices through the application of new methodologies and innovative approaches. The goal is to recenter ethics in the process of creating images while rethinking creative practices through Arquetopia’s methodology and program framework, by intersecting academic knowledge, scholarly discourse, and local epistemologies. For its 15th anniversary, ArquetopiaSUMMER 2025 will focus on theme “METAMORPHOSIS: Adjusting in a New Tempo” to reconsider the power of rhythm within the creative process. As the world has changed, becoming more and more complex, we continuously experience the need to adapt, contest, and survive. What does it mean to be an artist in this unsafe modern world, constantly threatened by the rise of nationalism, environmental extinction, and oppression; particularly when knowing that our work will be appropriated by the narratives of power? Is it possible to interrupt that legacy of Empire and reshape the realm of possibilities of art? Over the course of this 4-week residency, participants will question images by engaging in a deep analysis of their practice through the lens of radical theory across research, production, and recontextualization. This residency nurtures interactions that stimulate artistic growth and collaboration among participants, blending critical methodologies with artistic practices, encouraging participants to challenge and question existing paradigms. Through engaging with various themes, conducting research, and encountering diverse voices, participants foster a vibrant exchange of ideas. For more information, please contact Arquetopia at: info@arquetopia.org. Join us this Summer 2025!
