NOTAR V: CONVOCATORIA PARA RESIDENCIAS DE INVESTIGACIÓN EN MEDIACIÓN CULTURAL

Planta Alta, Fundación Daniel y Nina Carasso, Madrid.

Open call

This call is an exercise of situated knowledge production in the field of mediation (cultural, artistic, community-based, etc.) and critical pedagogies. Understanding that praxis is theory, it proposes that groups or people who work in contexts of knowledge considered subordinate, carry out a process of critical reflection on their own praxis, or that of others, transforming the knowledge acquired through practice in accessible and applicable ways by other agents.

NOTAR residency program is an initiative actually promoted by the Daniel and Nina Carasso Foundation and hablarenarte, which aims to promote the emergence of more democratic institutional forms that facilitate the involvement of citizens in the cultural field (new institutionalism).

The ultimate objective of the residencies is to generate a compendium of knowledge with its own entity, accessible and applicable by other agents, as well as the articulation of a research community from which new knowledge and critical approaches can be produced, shared and made visible.

Short description:

Four face-to-face residencies are available in the city of Madrid, aimed at individual or collective researchers, for a three months period from 9th September to 6th December 2026.
