SOMA Summer is an intensive residency program for artistic inquiry that welcomes a cohort of international artists, curators, critics, and art historians interested in collaborative pedagogical models. Each SOMA Summer is organized around a different theme that provides a compelling conceptual framework for research and creative work.
Titled Yet to Come, SOMA Summer 2021 will be framed around a series of questions about time, labor, land, and living. Held for the first time in collaboration with Fundación Casa Proal, the program’s activities and lodging will take place in San Rafael, Veracruz, Mexico. SOMA Summer 2021 is structured around the idea of working together in an isolated location. With the support and the collaboration of Fundación Casa Proal, the program’s location will not only allow us to be together–but as a site with complex historical layers–it will inform and influence our work and encourage non-linear thinking. One of the intentions is to learn from the place.
SOMA Summer program was designed and founded by Carla Herrera-Prats (1973-2019) in 2010. Intended to gather a group of artists, curators, critics, and art historians, interested in collaborative pedagogical models, the program was designed to promote intense creative work and open dialogue in Mexico City.
