INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGES
URRA carries out international exchanges in partnership with organizations from around the world, fostering collaboration between local artists and artists from the region or the country of the partner organization.
These exchanges provide participants with an art residency that offers a platform for production, dissemination, and interaction with the local and international art scene. The program includes support for the residents and their participation in public activities, among which the Audiovisual Presentations and Open Studios are highlighted.
To date, we have organized the following programs:
