In 2024, the focus of the programme is proposed by María Inés Rodríguez, director of Tropical Papers.

During the six months of the residency, the programme will be punctuated by different formats, including collective work sessions devised by the programme's guest, as well as work sessions focused on supporting individual practice. At the end of the residency, the recipients and María Inés Rodríguez will give a public presentation in the form they have chosen.
