Exhibition Program "University of the Land"
This exhibition program places nature, the land, and territory at the center of knowledge production, using artistic practice to think/live/embrace what the earth can teach us. Through collaborations with visual artists, editors, researchers, writers, and guest curators from Costa Rica and Latin America, the program is conceived as a series of curatorial exercises to ask questions about what we can learn from plants, soil, rivers, and the territories we inhabit.
Grants and Supports
TEOR/éTica works in a context that lacks cultural and artistic infrastructure, where there are scarce public funds for contemporary art. In response to the scarce opportunities for support in our context, we offer grants to individuals (artists, critics and curators) and/or for organizations. In this scenario, TEOR/éTica’s work is relevant because it helps support several institutional and independent initiatives through collaborations and financial support, while also offering spaces for events, study, research and development of curatorial and artistic practices.
La Diabla
Self-publishing graphic workshop: La Diabla - Taller de autopublicación gráfica is a training program that promotes self-publishing as a form of artistic expression. It was created in 2023 with the intention of providing tools and supporting writing and graphic processes through the use of a Riso duplicator. Since 2024, it includes a micro-residency program with guests from Latin America who come to share knowledge, generate dialogues and strengthen ties.
