Proposal

.

During his residency, Juan David will investigate the knowledge of the practices of graffiti, muralism, poster design, music, knowledge and related activities that are taking place in the city of Medellín by different artists from the community. It will seek to understand a little more how these dynamics are carried out and how they are related to institutions such as the Museum of Antioquia, the MAMM, House Museum of Memory, galleries, independent spaces, Casa Tres Patios Foundation and educational institutions. Taking into account that the relationship with the city of Bogotá is strong and the door has been opened to these practices from different spaces such as: Museum of Contemporary Art of Bogotá, The French Alliance, El Colombo Americano, Casa Tinta, Galería Beta, Galería View, Series 5, Bandy Bandy Gallery, Casa Jauría, La Biblioteca Nacional, among other places.

He is interested in carrying out a comparative analysis, based on a written reflection that allows him to find synergy and connection between the two cities and these, the practices of urban art, so that he can link them in each context.
