Poznan, Poland.










Making milpa, the living room, at Centrum Kultury Zamek continued exploring a curriculum following the idea of the milpa as a metaphor and model; a learning environment based on forms of collaboration and artistic research.
The process at Zamek Centrum Kultury in Poznan involved engaging with a group residency instead of an individual, as well as reflecting on the relations between host and guest. In this way, invitations were extended to many other collaborators with the purpose of exploring artistic collaborations and building together a space and program for the public. The project was realized together with Raul Hott, Roberto Nino Betancourt, Sadia Pineda and Beau W. Beakhouse, and Gerardo Gomez Tonda.
As a result, a series of conversations and artistic collaborations took place between Diego Gutierrez Valladares and different collaborators. The program included workshops and a group show which presented the practical experimentations produced during the residency.
