Joint residences

With Flora Ars + natura
Since 2014, the Fundación Fraternidad Medellín created a bridge between CasaTresPatios and FLORA ars + natura, an artistic center located in the city of Bogotá, Colombia.
Through a public and annual call, we invite artists from Antiquity who want, simultaneously, to participate in the Escuela FLORA academic program and carry out a documentation and (micro) publication exercise about their residency with the CasaTresPatios team, complemented by a talk or workshop that the chosen artists develop when they return to Medellín.
The FLORA School includes seminars, visits and study groups, as well as a session in which the artists share experiences of their process.
The exercise of documentation and (micro) publication that artists implement with CasaTresPatios, allows them to learn to record and project their creative processes in the artistic and academic context of their city of origin.
The duration of this joint residency varies each year, as does the number of artists that can be awarded grants.
