Descripción del Premio

SOUTH SOUTH has teamed up with El Espacio 23 in Miami to host its inaugural curatorial residency. This innovative new partnership brings together curators connected to 3 broad regions – Latin America, Africa & Middle East and Asia – to further research and highlight arts practices from the Global South in a curatorial exchange taking place in Miami from 14 – 28 October 2021, with a robust digital component. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased challenges for curators outside of art world centres to produce work and to build and maintain recognition. The SOUTH SOUTH x El Espacio 23 Curatorial Residency intends to assist in addressing this by encouraging cross-regional connections, knowledge sharing and offering an opportunity for curators to exercise their skills through a Global South-focused platform. Acknowledging the difficulties with traveling to Miami under the current circumstances, this residency includes two curators currently based in the US who will travel to El Espacio 23 and a curatorial duo based between Singapore and the Philippines who will collaborate remotely. The selected curators for this edition are: Meyken Barreto (Cuba/US-based) Uche James Iroha (Nigeria/US-based) Carlos Quijon, Jr. (Philippines) & Kathleen Ditzig (Singapore) The residency provides the opportunity for the curators to enhance their practical experience in realising a curatorial project on a large scale, as well as the moments to work with other practitioners and artists from across the Global South and to engage with the common goals of the SOUTH SOUTH platform. In addition to the 50+ galleries from over 30 countries participating in SOUTH SOUTH, the residency provides access to El Espacio 23 and The Jorge M. Pérez collection which will create opportunities to explore diverse artistic practices from the Global South and engage with the rich diasporic culture of Miami. The outcome of the residency will be for the curators to produce the Talks, Film and Online Visual Programme for VEZA 02 in February 2022. About El Espacio 23 El Espacio 23 is a contemporary art space founded by collector and philanthropist Jorge M. Pérez. Located within a repurposed 28,000 square foot warehouse in Miami’s Allapattah neighborhood, El Espacio 23 serves artists, curators and the general public with regular exhibitions, residencies and a variety of special projects drawn from the Pérez Collection. It is a space that is committed to broadening discourse on the Global South.
