Buenos Aires

R.A.R.O. is an itinerant residency program that allows foreign and argentinian artists to develop their projects in the different studios that R.A.R.O.´s team offers around the city of Buenos Aires.

Each artist can work in a minimum of two studios for the period of the residency, deepening in one or more techniques, according to the project that they are going to develop.

We are also offering residency programs in Curatorial Projects, Theater and Performance and Ceramics and Pottery.

During their residency, artists may show their work, get in contact with local artists, curators and collectors among other art related enthusiasts. At the end of the residency, artists would have the opportunity to show their final work either as an Open studio or exhibition.

The mythical Kodama were believed to reside beneath the shifting emerald tides of an endless sea of trees in the ancient folklore of Japan, forest deities whose forms were often indistinguishable from the woods in which they made their homes. Yet Kodama also referred to the mournful cry of these spirits which resounded through the trees, an echo that carried nature’s tidings across the breadth of space and time.

The Kodama Film Festival was conceived as a means of emulating that same sense of earthly reverberation, by finding creative voices that would meaningfully reflect the wonder of the natural world onto contemporary society.
