RESIDENCIES
Residencies at Cobertizo are conceived as a working space dedicated to research, production, and the development of artistic practices. They seek to foster a community of exchange and dialogue among artists, both through individual projects and collaborative proposals (up to two people per project).
The program includes visits and accompaniment by mentors, as well as instances of exchange among residents—such as portfolio presentations and critique circles—in dialogue with the context of Jilotepec. These dynamics aim to broaden the perspectives from which projects are developed.
INTERNATIONAL RESIDENCY
The Summer and Fall Residencies are three-week programs open to artists of all nationalities and disciplines, welcoming both individual projects and collaborative proposals of up to two people. Each residency hosts eight artists and takes place within Cobertizo’s working environment in Jilotepec, State of Mexico.
These residencies are designed for artists interested in working within a different cultural and artistic context, establishing meaningful connections with Mexico’s contemporary art scene while developing their practice in a focused, shared setting. Participants take part in a structured program that includes visits and mentorship by invited artists and curators, portfolio presentations, and collective critique sessions.
The Summer and Fall Residencies offer the opportunity to engage deeply with a Latin American context, build long-term professional relationships, and develop projects in dialogue with new social, cultural, and artistic references. The participation fee is USD $2,050, which supports the residency program and ensures access to its working conditions and activities throughout the three-week stay.

DESDE OTRO SUELO
Desde Otro Suelo is a three-week program for eight artists born in Latin America or the Caribbean who currently live and work in the United States. Through an open call, the program offers an intensive workspace focused on production, critical dialogue, and curatorial support.
In a context marked by the complexities and asymmetries of migration, the residency seeks to bring together practices that stem from the experience of displacement and life between territories, understanding these conditions not only as biographical circumstances but also as political and cultural frameworks that directly influence contemporary artistic production.
The selection will be made by a specialized committee that will assess the conceptual rigor of the projects, their relevance within the residency framework, and their potential to engage in dialogue with other practices in this shared environment.
