Between December 1 and 31, 2023, we open the call to anyone interested in being part of the IEFC-EXP 2024 International Experimentation Residency . It will be held during the 10 days prior to the Experimental Photo Festival , from July 13 to 23, 2024, and we invite participants to stay at the festival to share your experience.
During their stay, each of the residents will have one day to do a theoretical-practical workshop where they can explain an experimental technique that they know to the rest of the group. The residency aims to generate a small horizontal community of collaborative learning where 8 different techniques can be worked on and not a space where each participant works individually on her personal projects. It will conclude with a collective exhibition on the process of learning the different techniques, and not the results, which will be held on the ground floor of the Institut d’Estudis Fotogrà fics de Catalunya .
