The Editorial Residency at the MAMBO Research Center is a new initiative dedicated to publishing as a critical and creative method for exploring museum archives. Set to unfold throughout 2025, this residency focuses on the photographic archive and editorial history of the Bogotá Museum of Modern Art, examining the collaborative networks and artistic methodologies that shaped the institution during its first three decades.

Through this research, residents will engage with photographs that document exhibitions, non-objectual works, art books, and public space interventions—shedding light on how MAMBO contributed to the development of new languages in contemporary art.

The residency will culminate in the publication of a book in May 2025, offering alternative readings of the archive and creating new connections with the museum’s collections. Alongside the publication, a series of public programs will invite broader engagement with the archive.

This first edition is developed in collaboration with EdicionesRéplica, a collective specializing in Latin American photography archives and editorial-curatorial practices.
