The "Cultural Agency and Artistic Research" Program proposes training aimed at committed individuals. Subjects that consider themselves critical thinkers and creative makers. The program seeks to train them as artistic researchers and agents of change in the field of Visual Arts. In essence, the “Cultural Agency and Artistic Research” project trains its participants both in modes of operability and agency, as well as in those of perception, reflection and reference on their respective contexts. An intensive one-year program intertwining with the Paiz Art Biennial event, offering a formative-educational concept that articulates a polymorphic and multicontextual vision of the cultural in the field of contemporary art.
A publication of the research texts of each participant was published at the conclusion of the program. A symposium was also held, in which each participant could expand on the process of their research.
