Patricia Esquivias, Cardón cardinal (Cardinal Cardon [A Lilli Hartmann Watercolour Woven by Jorge Damián and José Flores in Guadalajara, Mexico]), 2019. Museo Reina Sofia

As a member of L'Internationale, Museo Reina Sofía calls for, amongst other activities, four research residences, distributed in two calls along the years 2024 and 2025. The first one calls for two residences, whose objective is to foster research through artistic and cultural practices and participation in research networks bound to Museum of the Commons – in particular to its first work line, which focuses on the current planetary climate crisis, the sustainability of institutional, artistic and cultural practices and the urgency to transform our politics, societies, cultures and ways of living towards ecologically sustainable models.

The research lines proposed for this call are:

• Ecological, social and political sustainability of the cultural ecosystem,
• Food sovereignty and situated institutional practices such as community gardens and kitchens,
• Architecture as a lab for institutional and social sustainability,
• Diaspora and migrant communities, in particular as a result of climate change,
• Communal practices and political imagination.

The deadline for applying is Monday, 30 September 2024.
