Over the last few years, several of our residents have decided to return for a second or even a third residency. We love that artists make us a consistent part of their creative practice and really enjoy seeing familiar faces return with fresh ideas, ready to explore new projects or techniques..

Mochilero – A striking performance about identity, rebirth and ritual
With his intimate performance piece Mochilero, US-Colombian experimental artist Camilo Cárdenas reminds us that identity is fluid, widely auto-constructed and an ongoing process, rather than a completed state. Mochilero took place during the Colombian COVID-19 lockdown at the artist residency ArteSumapaz, (located a three hour drive from Bogotá) and is still available for viewing online in summary (length: 15 minutes).

Midnight
Outside at midnight
I suddenly notice,
not far from the terracotta porch,
a slender ladder.Its silver quenched with days of harvest,
it waits forgotten under the mandarin tree.
Feet sunken, shallow anchors
in a lake of dark grass.
Its head bathing in moonlight.Above it,
Mandarin lampions
dimmed by evening’s veil.
Faded orange chronographs
in a country
indifferent to seasons.
But gravity still pulls.
Fructose hourglass.
Oval clocks ripening
to tell us how much
time has passed.
