REMOTA
Collaborative project of international long-distance residency between guion_bajo residency (Colombia) and Can Serrat. During the confinement and the impossibility of traveling, we created this online program to accompany selected artists in their artistic and literary production processes. During 2023, and with the restoration of the possibility to travel, we are adapting this project.
