Las Aguadas Residencia de Arte

Espacio E is a cultural centre located in the historic heart of Asunción, housed in a building that dates to the mid-19th century. It opened in 2012 and has been a space for cultural and artistic practice, research and exploration. Until 2022 it focuses on theatre, dance and performing arts, and, starting last year, it opened a new department for visual arts. Among Espacio E's main objectives are collaboration and interdisciplinary work. Espacio E prides itself on offering a much need space in Asunción for creative expression and diversity free from repression. Las Aguadas Art Residence has been established with the following objectives: Create a community based on respect, exchange, cooperation and creativity. Connect international artists with the artistic and cultural scenes of Paraguay and vice versa. Provide a residence and retreat space that encourages the production of each resident. Promote interdisciplinarity between conventionally separated genres of art. Create lasting bonds and long-term relationships. This Residence offers two simultaneous quotas in July and September for artists not residing in Paraguay: 1. One for visual arts. 2. One for performing arts. The Residence will take place in Asunción, in the cultural centre Espacio E, and on a farm called Las Aguadas. The farm is located in a rural area called Kariy Potrero, located between Cordillera and Caaguazú. In this way, resident artists will acquire more complex and in-depth experiences of Paraguay during their stays.
