# How to Live Together? A residency centered on sound, moving image, performance, installation and interdisciplinary practices

## About This Program

> "How to Live Together? — coexistence, care, urban life, labor, ecology, technology, migration, collective imagination and new social structures"

An international residency built around one of the few artist-run multimedia studios in Latin America, designed for experimental artistic practices. At its heart is a 70 m² acoustically treated studio, originally conceived as a professional recording studio, now suited to sound art, moving image, video art, performance, installation and emerging media. Artists investigate the question "How do we live together?" through their own methodologies, engaging themes such as coexistence, care, urban life, labor, ecology, technology, migration, collective imagination and new social structures.
