Making Aware:
Studio Atelierista's
first transdisciplinary
artist residency
Core Focus
The residency centered around research from a PhD in Design for Transformative Learning by Ricardo Dutra (from Monash University, Melbourne), which posed the central question: "How to make the intangible visible?" Residents responded by co-creating visual and embodied social art pieces that integrated their personal interests with this core inquiry.
Approach & Methodology
Participants engaged in thoughtful interdisciplinary workshops and exercises that explored the intersections of art, design, and social issues. The program emphasized:
- Experimentation and collaboration
- Awareness-based collective creativity
- Development of innovative prototypes and artistic expressions
- Themes including the tangible/intangible, self/collective, and learning/unlearning
Setting
The residency leveraged Florence's rich cultural backdrop to inspire new approaches to creative work, offering both artistic growth and practical methodologies for applying social arts in educational and community settings.
Impact
Residents noted the program's ability to quickly foster meaningful reflection and conversation through artistic exercises, creating what participants described as "possibility spaces" for genuine creative collaboration across borders and cultures.
