Aguas Migrantes is a collective composed of two migrant artist-educators, Susa Cortez and Vreni Michelini originally from Guanajuato, MX but now based in the Bay Area.


Aguas Migrantes  invites you to apply to our 2016 Artist Residency Program: Integrity. This is a unique opportunity to engulf yourself in rural and urban areas of Guanajuato, Mexico. This residency is not for tourists, we are looking for artists who are interested in cultural enrichment through communal creative solidarity. We are looking for artists who will like to expand their consciousness and sensitivities through social engagements with us for two weeks.

This residency will include small walking seminars to different parts of the state. We will all learn from each other's workshops, visit Las Siete Luminarias, attend an international film festival, live in a rancho, walk through the capital, gather in community spaces/museums and have a final presentation/exhibition at the end of the residency.
Deadline to submit your application is February 28th.
We will announce the selected artists March 12th!
