Satellite – Artist in Residence is a 6 months residency programme offered by DIVAS to a local queer elder artist. By choosing to connect to those that came before us, DIVAS aims to learn and exchange about the experience of art and community making, as elders in training*. By creating this program DIVAS wants to involve artists that have been already contributing to the weaving of many cultural and community spheres in the city for years. As a part of the residency DIVAS shares their studio space at Guiña for open research and offer soft support in organising an event that the artist envisions. During the residency the artist is warmly invited to take part in all DIVAS activities and become part of the DIVAS net in different formats. However it is up to the artist to decide if that fits their process and how and when they want to engage. DIVAS are eager to experiment with new formats and collaborate on new ideas that open gates to our common urgencies, perhaps creating new visionary fictions** of queer, more liberated futures together.
