As part of our ongoing research into future practices in art institutions, we hosted a vibrant Think Tank session in April with the current residents from our two artist-in-residence streams: Proyecto Binario x CASASELVA and the Editorial Residency at the Bogotá Museum of Modern Art (MAMBO).

The session served as a dynamic space to share ideas in progress and reflect on how creative practices can intersect with pedagogical, ecological, and editorial processes.

Through Proyecto Binario x CASASELVA, artists Raquel Moreno and Daniel Blanco are engaging in public pedagogical activations rooted in their research.
Raquel’s project, Playing with the Shadow, is a creative space for women to gather and explore drawing, embroidery, writing, and sound as tools for expression and self-connection.
Daniel’s Mountain Marsh investigates the ecological memory of Bogotá’s savanna through a sequence of walking routes and construction-based workshops, imagining new scenarios for water coexistence grounded in local geography and material practices.

At the same time, the Editorial Residency at MAMBO is being developed in collaboration with EdicionesRéplica, an independent collective led by José Ruiz and Arturo Salazar. Specializing in editorial-curatorial work around Latin American photography archives, this first edition of the residency focuses on the development of an editorial project to be published in May 2025. Alongside this publication, EdicionesRéplica will lead a series of public programming activities aimed at activating and increasing the visibility of the museum’s photographic archive. Their approach foregrounds the archive not just as a resource, but as a living space for dialogue, memory, and critical interpretation.

Together, these residents bring a diverse set of practices to our inquiry into institutional transformation and collaborative learning. Their contributions will continue to shape our understanding of what it means to world higher education differently.
