Crucero project is part of REMOTA, at a distance residency program created in 2020. The aim is to offer solutions and critical vision to deal with the feeling of loneliness, confusion and lack of feedback for creative people in their career.
The project comes from the simple observation that emerging (but not only) artists and writers in residency often lack information and support to navigate through the cultural world, Indeed we have identified that creative practitioners would greatly benefit from; Practical mentoring to enhance specific skills such as raising money, writing statements and applications , as well as coaching to support them to speak through their ideas and support them on an emotional level, among other supports.
The project is mainly thought to be organized online, it is the result of a collaboration between guion_bajo residency program and Can Serrat. As for 2023, crucero proposes two lines of work:
- FEEDBACK: one to one session to review application project/statement, any document related to share the artist/writer’s general work or specific project. (pack of 2 sessions, 1 hour each)
- COTXES: one to one session with an artist/writer coach to accompany a specific moment in your career. A package of 6 one to one coaching sessions is offered to creative practitioners. The sessions will be there to offer emotional support, facilitate professional development and allow individuals achieve their aspirations. 1h sessions (first session, 1h30)
The form will be open 48h from November 9 to 10, 2023, midnight (Spanish time).
