The Danish Arts Council’s Committee for International Visual Art has expanded its residency in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil with a residency in São Paulo. The local partner for both residencies is Capacete, a dynamic and well connected institution that houses artists from all over the world and collaborates with various international partners.
In agreement with Capacete it is possible to split the residency into a period in Rio de Janeiro and a period in São Paulo.
