SOMA is a not-for-profit experimental organisation founded in Mexico in 2009 by a group of artists, critics, curators and other culture professionals, who have joined forces to create a platform for cultural change that seeks to foster learning, research, dialogue, wide-ranging discussions, critical thought and collaboration between artists and cultural agents from different contexts and disciplines.
In 2016 the Barcelona-based Spanish artistic agency BAR Project made up of Andrea Rodríguez Novoa, Verónica Valentini and Juan Canela are taking part in the SOMA residencies programme with the support of AC/E. The programme’s various activities include a public talk on the format of artistic residencies together with other residency projects such as Casa Vecina, Casa Maauad and Casa Gallina, and a theoretic and practical workshop on artistic interventions in unconventional spaces in Mexico city. A Mexican artist will furthermore be selected to take part in BAR Project’s autumn residency in Barcelona.
