NOTAR III: RESEARCH RESIDENCIES OPEN CALL

Planta Alta, Museo Reina Sofía, Madrid.

Open call

This call is an exercise of situated knowledge production in the field of mediation (cultural, artistic, community-based, etc.) and critical pedagogies. Understanding that praxis is theory, it proposes that groups or people who work in contexts of knowledge considered subordinate, carry out a process of critical reflection on their own praxis, or that of others, transforming the knowledge acquired through practice in accessible and applicable ways by other agents.

NOTAR is the residency program of the MAR platform, an initiative promoted by the Reina Sofía National Museum, hablarenarte and the Daniel and Nina Carasso Foundation in 2020, which aims to promote the emergence of more democratic institutional forms that facilitate the involvement of citizens in the cultural field (new institutions).

The ultimate objective of the residencies is to generate a compendium of knowledge with its own entity, accessible and applicable by other agents, as well as the articulation of a research community from which new knowledge and critical approaches can be produced, shared and made visible.
