︎PIPA!
This is the name we have given to the only green space in the building, which is located on the roof, and which, after having built a structure there and several workshops to populate it with a garden, we have decided to activate as a place for research between art and nature, with experimental laboratories for artists and curators, which allow us to approach the notion of sustainability and rurality from the city. The residencies that take place in this space seek to experiment around agropolitan practices towards a reflection on food sovereignty. This in turn empowers the rooftop as a node that fosters dialogue and transcultural action under the premises of low/cost and low/technology. The activities developed in this space also seek to be narrated through meals that the project promoters offer to tell the story of their work processes.

︎︎︎ EL JARDÍN DE TODO. [GARDEN OF EVERYTHING]

May to december 2023
For this version we wanted to move away from the traditional research and reproduction of the idea of nature in the city and its relation to artistic practices, to take it to more conceptual and political limits. This is the reason why we invited the artists to carry out an investigation and production of work derived from our work called ‘Jardín de las Malas Hierbas’ (The Bad Herbs Garden). A sort of extension and reinterpretation from the own aesthetic proposals of Coco Guzmán (ESP), Diego del Pozo (ESP) and Estefanía Santiago (ARG), to account for a set of dialogues and reciprocities between our collective and our guests.
The artists carried out a research for the production of the work, which ended in December. Each process, in addition to its own result, included an intermediate intervention in the public space.
︎︎︎ THE PROXIMITY OF AN INTANGIBLE TERRITORY(2021-2022)

Natalia Pilo (PER)* residence
Project that investigates on the vegetable memory in the individual in front of the new territory where he/she lives. The research is developed through the study of food and plant species originating from the Latin American continent and how they evolve in the European territory -and of course- from the European territory to the Latin American one, either in the past or in the present. The foods investigated have a common element that relies on the memory of the individual and how these same foods share climatic similarities and in turn share ritual states of the past, which generate similarities that develop a fluidity in the concepts of migration, territory, closeness and memory.
