12 participants will be selected for the program. Our aim is to reserve four positions for Brazilians, four for South Americans, and four for the rest of the world. The duration of the program is ten months, from the 1st of March to the 20th of December, with a one-month break in July.
CAPACETE grows out of the CAPACETE Entertainments residency program. CAPACETE entertainments is a non-profit autonomous initiative for cross-disciplinary investigation, production and public debate, designed to promote a diverse range of initiatives, most of which were specifically related to Brazil and the Latin American context.
The program is designed as a fluid and adaptive platform of exchange between the participants and the lecturers and advisors. The program will offer nine seminars given by nine lecturers from different backgrounds. Seminars will extend from three days to up to five days duration. Each lecturer will also do a public talk open to the main public. In addition, different talks, presentations and events will be organized throughout the year with other guest lecturers.
One of the ambitions of our program is to have each yearly program culminate in a collective project, designed by the participants, one that can take on any number of forms (presentation, performance, publication, exhibition, seminar etc.). However, in keeping with the participative logic of our project, rather than frame this as a requirement, we prefer to conceive of it as a potential whose actualization will be decided by the participants themselves.
&To help participants finance their stay in Rio de Janeiro during the program CAPACETE will agency working possibilities with artists such as Antônio Dias, Luiz Zerbini, Ernesto Neto, Laura Lima, Tiago Carneiro da Cunha, Daniel Steegmann, Chelpa Ferro, Rosangela Rennó, Marcos Chaves, Arto Lindsay, etc.;
