The TALKS Project was carried out throughout the year 2011 and marked the celebration of CEIA’s 10th anniversary. The project’s activities comprised two artistic residencies, a cycle of lectures, three exhibitions, and a magazine publication. Such activities were developed in order to prepare involved artists to take part in the event “Permeabilities”, held later in 2013. These actions opened up dialogues among the various media expressions, as well as stimulated the exchange between young Brazilian and foreign artists from different fields.

Period: April 2012 through March 2013.

Venue: Centro de Arte Contemporânea in Belo Horizonte; Centro Cultural Usiminas in Ipatinga, and Galeria Vermelho in São Paulo.

Actions held through this project:

Two artistic residencies

- CEIA Residency: this local residency program was carried out for five months with three local artists chosen by a public call. These artists developed individual projects under the counseling of art historian Marcos Hill and artist Marco Paulo Rolla, in addition to four other partners.
- CA-BRA Residency (Central America and Brazil): held for approximately 20 days involving Brazilian and foreign artists. Six Central American artists from the CA-BRA Residency Project, three artists from São Paulo, and other three plastic artists from Belo Horizonte were invited. All of them worked at a collective Studio in Belo Horizonte. CA-BRA Residency is an unfolding of RAPACES Residency, held in Nicaragua.
