The Spanish curator Rafael Barber was the chosen candidate in 2017. As part of its efforts to promote the internationalisation of culture professionals and in connection with the envisaged collaboration between Spain and Colombia in 2017 and 2018, Acción Cultural Española is supporting Barber’s residency, during which he intends to carry out research into changing perceptions of cultural relations and, by extension, the role of the curator, artistic practice and the relationship with the audience.
During his stay, Barber will conduct his research not only in Lugar a Dudas but also in other institutions that run residency programmes, such as La usurpadora (Barranquilla) Piso Alto y Casa Tres patios (Medellín) Más arte, más acción (Chocó) and Flora (Honda).
