Dias & Riedweg Artist Residency required the creation of an unprecedented partnership between the artists, a cultural institution, a federal mental health hospital, and patients within Brazil’s public healthcare system. The challenge was not only to develop a collaborative artwork, but also to establish the institutional, legal, and operational conditions necessary for multiple organizations to work together within a sensitive and complex co-creation process.
The project involved stakeholder engagement, governance design, interest alignment, and the structuring of collaboration between Casa Daros, IPUB-UFRJ, and the collective A Voz dos Usuários.
As Project Manager, I was responsible for coordinating the initiative and ensuring its successful implementation, demonstrating how design can serve as a tool for mediation between institutions, systems, and communities.
The artwork resulting from the residency is now part of the digital collection of the Museo Reina Sofía.
