Una plataforma para explorar lo cotidiano
como acto cultural del caribe y latinoamérica.
La residencia is an open invitation to artists from the Caribbean and Latin America to engage in dialogue with the everyday through their own creative practices. Through periodic collaborations, this space seeks to materialize intimate gestures and shared experiences, transforming familiar objects, symbols, and emotions into jewelry pieces that preserve, celebrate, and reimagine our culture.
Each volume proposes a curatorial exercise where the intangible, intimate, and ephemeral are transformed into a tangible archive of objects of permanence. La residencia maps an affective landscape of the present through the daily rituals that unite us, constructing memory from both the lived and the imagined.
La residencia; Vol. I; Descanso
For the opening of the first volume of La residencia, URAL presents a collaboration with artist Andrea Alfaro Rizek, also known as Holmiga, whose work invites us to explore elements and spaces associated with rest. Her artwork, intimate and deeply narrative, recovers scenes and elements that often go unnoticed.
Descanso is an invitation to daydream with open eyes. It is a tribute to the act of observing the everyday landscape with intention, and transforming it into an object of feeling.
