Correlacion Contemporanea

Correlación Contemporánea is a non-profit arts self-management space that aims to analyze and contribute to the current production, dissemination, and research system of contemporary art in Peru. Since 2016, Correlación Contemporánea has welcomed exchanges between national and international art students, and young and senior artists, to create a horizontal space for dialogue to stimulate artistic creations and actions in the Peruvian socio-cultural context. The residency program Amazonica welcomes national and international visual artists, multidisciplinary & interdisciplinary artists, curators, and other disciplines, for four weeks to develop projects related to the Peruvian Amazon Rainforest, its resources and landscapes, The community and city of Iquitos, Indigenous communities (Kukama Kukamiria, Ikitu, among others), Equity and liberation. Amazónica program provides residents with an experiential of the socio-cultural context of the Peruvian Amazon, promoting critical research through traditional and contemporary artistic practices in contact with locals. The residence proposes a total disconnection from the routine or type of life, to reconnect with nature. We propose an alternative and traditional space for creation from an intercultural horizon, which can be explored through personal and collective research and exploration. The program aims to create an environment of knowledge and cultural exchange, artistic production, and/or research in contemporary arts. During the residency program, residents and coordinators will have a work plan and activity schedule. A local artist and/or curator will be leading the program and checking in with artists.
