Exchanges with Spain, Brazil, Chile and Colombia
International Exchange Program
The members of the Presente Continuo Org program have the possibility of applying with a project for a work stay of between three weeks and two months in one of the program's partner institutions.
Through the residencies, we aim to expand knowledge on new approaches to creative processes, working methodologies, device design, theoretical frameworks, and management and production models suited to the current context.

TBA21. Organismo | Art in Applied Critical Ecologies builds on the experiences of TBA21–Academy, TBA21’s research arm and incubator for collaborative research, artistic production, and environmental advocacy, which for over a decade has served as a catalyst for new forms of knowledge that emerge from fostering relationships between art, science, public policy, and conservation. Uniting its efforts with the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, Organismo functions as a system of connections between artistic practices, interdisciplinary research, government agencies, and local communities, with the aim of facilitating the development of projects that promote plural and interdependent entanglements, essential to addressing today’s converging crises.
Dedicated to the development of practical-theoretical research in the arts with a specific focus on its intersection with technology, science, and nature. Within the scope of the Graduate and Postgraduate Program in Visual Arts at the School of Fine Arts – Center for Letters and Arts – UFRJ, it provides a laboratory space for practical-theoretical research.
Focused on the production of events and partnerships at both national and international levels, it centers its interest on the universe of ideas, practices, and poetics of processes that characterize different modes of creation and their related networks. The motivation is to consolidate a transdisciplinary space for reflection and the promotion of new cognitive models.

The Master's degree in Visual, Electronic, and Time Arts has an experimental focus centered on the student's studio practice. It allows for the exploration and contrast of various technical and theoretical approaches in these expressive media, critically contextualizing them within contemporary art and culture.
The main objective of RETA.HEX is to map agents and action scenarios that allow for the decentralization and democratization of access, production, and circulation of arts and technologies in Colombia.

FAIR focuses on addressing the social, cultural, and environmental challenges of AI in Chile and Latin America, considering the technological progress it enables, the contexts of use, and the instabilities it generates in life on the planet. To promote the design of ethical futures, they will produce conceptual frameworks that will contribute to the development of public policies aligned with the rights and freedoms of living beings, while recognizing the independence of AI from communities and territories. They will create open spaces for collaboration, learning, and experimentation in cutting-edge areas that will foster research in dialogue with the humanities, arts, social sciences, and computer science.

MASS is an International Gathering of Digital Arts and Cultures, organized by the Faculty of Integrated Arts at the Universidad del Valle. This event was inspired by the work of the founder of the School of Communication, Professor Jesús Martín Barbero. Through MASS, we aim to create a research-creation platform, a space and a network where mass cultures, students, artists, and researchers can come together to reflect, through conversation and the exchange of experiences, on the interface between art, technology, and society.
