WHAT IS GRID
Now in its second edition, GRID promotes international dialogue and offers research opportunities. Mucho Mas! launches a residency for a female curator under 30 based in Piedmont: a 15-day journey across Helsinki, Göteborg and Vilnius, hosted by Myymälä2, SWIT Platform and SODAS. The curator will be guided by tutors and project managers through studio visits and meetings with local artists, exploring cultural identities and networks in Northern Europe. Mucho Mas! will provide support and contacts throughout the residency. At the end, the curator is expected to present a project that narrates the experiences and results of the research.
