Open Call 2nd Session R.A.R.O. Buenos Aires 2026

R.A.R.O. (Residencias Artísticas Raramente Organizadas) is an international residency program for artists born from the need to generate links and exchanges. In these residencies, we contemplate production and artistic reflection in relation to multidisciplinary synergies and collaborations. We are a decentralized and self-managed program operating through a training and support network made up of more than 25 local artist studios ready to receive others in their spaces. Our dynamic is primarily itinerant and relational. The key element of the residencies we propose is the possibility of working with different artists, curators, managers, and researchers in an itinerant manner during a specific time; this is essential for generating spaces for dialogue and collaboration between participants and hosts. In parallel with the work processes in each space, we generate an agenda of activities such as studio visits, talks, and clinics, among others, which are complementary and enrich the experience of each resident, allowing them to relate to different spaces and actors according to the nature of their own projects. This residency format consists of a period of six (6) weeks. Within this timeframe, four (4) weeks are dedicated to working in the selected studios. There, residents will be able to develop their processes, connect with other artists in the program, and meet the local artists working in each space. Subsequently, the residency will conclude with a one (1) week final exhibition. During this week, and alongside a mounting team and the edition's curator, each resident will receive the necessary support so the group can exhibit the processes they worked on during the program. Additionally, residents will have curatorial meetings, workshops, and advisory sessions from the R.A.R.O. Team, as well as tours and visits through the city's artistic circuit and group photographic documentation. Format: Macro-Residency. Dates: From October 8 to November 15.
