In May, we are thrilled to welcome Radha Johana Jaramillo and Alicja Górecki to the residency.

Radha Johana Jaramillo is a Colombian visual artist based in Chía. She holds a degree in Philosophy from Universidad Pedagógica Nacional and studied Film and Television and Fine Arts at Universidad Nacional de Colombia. Her practice moves between drawing, painting, sculpture, and textile and material experimentation, treating each medium as mediation and ritual: where what cannot otherwise be processed is processed.

Alicja Górecki works within intermedia art and art therapy, focusing on the connections between different media and the integration of natural elements. Her practice centers on textiles, complemented by drawing, writing, poetry, and collage. She aims to explore both the possibilities and limitations of various media, as well as the transformative processes that emerge through artistic activity. An important aspect of her work is reflection, offering insights into artistic practice as a form of self-care.

The residency is supported by the State Culture Capital Foundation of Latvia (Valsts kultūrkapitāla fonds).
