Res Artis Open Calls Closing Soon!

Save the date: Res Artis Conference 2025
São Paulo
Sep 18-23 2025

For the first time in our 32-year history, Res Artis will host our annual conference in Latin America! Titled Other Springs: Blooms from the Global South, the 2025 event will be hosted by long-standing Res Artis Member Fundação Armando Alvares Penteado (FAAP) and held in São Paulo, Brazil from 18 – 23 September. The conference marks the 20th anniversary of the Residência Artística FAAP – São Paulo arts residency and will coincide with the 36th Bienal de São Paulo and France in Brazil Season which celebrates 200 years of diplomatic relations.

Motivated by the title of the book Primavera para as Rosas Negras: Lélia Gonzalez em Primeira Pessoa (2018), the conference will offer unique perspectives from the Global South guided by the concept of ‘amefricanity’. The program will emphasise the significance of Indigenous and African presence in shaping the cultural and social landscape of Brazil and wider Latin America today, including how the structure and practices of art residencies in the region reflect this rich heritage.

Drawing on the ethos of FAAP as an educational and artistic institution we will also reflect on the theme of education in the arts residencies field. Using case studies from the region and abroad, the event will examine how artists can combine research, access to collections and exchange; the contributions of public institutions in hosting arts residencies; and the crucial educational role that arts residencies play in an artist’s career trajectory
