Arquetopia is thrilled to announce the launch of My First Arquetopia Residency, a new two-week introductory program designed exclusively for applicants ages 20 to 25 who are beginning, rethinking, or formalizing their artistic practice. This program is conceived for emerging or first-time residents who wish to define or reframe the foundations of their work through contextual immersion and guided observation. Taking place in Puebla between March and July, the residency is intentionally scheduled during academic recesses — spring and summer breaks — allowing young artists and students to pursue an international residency experience in Mexico without interrupting their studies. Over two weeks, participants engage closely with local museum collections, develop critical reflection through weekly meetings, and undertake structured field visits that situate artistic practice within broader social, historical, and material frameworks.
