soma summer

SOMA Summer is an intensive three-week academic program in Mexico for artistic inquiry that welcomes a cohort of international artists, curators, critics, and art historians interested in collaborative pedagogical models. Each SOMA Summer is organized around a different theme that provides a compelling conceptual framework for research and creative work.

In its 2024 edition, SOMA Summer will be structured after Argentinean decolonial philosopher Enrique Dussel’s subject-subject relation categories to deal with entanglement as our object of study.

With a three-week long duration and fully conducted in English, SOMA Summer gathers 25 participants in Mexico City, fostering critical thought and artistic reflection through a series of workshops, seminars, field visits, critique sessions, and other special sessions guided by local and international artists and specialists.

The program is structured around a specific yearly theme that provides a stimulating conceptual framework for research and dialogue. SOMA Summer is a space for inquiry and thought where those involved have the opportunity to critically analyze their work while also reviewing their creative processes in an intensive work environment.

PROGRAM 2024: The program will take place in Mexico City from July 8 - 28.
