la nueva fábrica's 2027-2028 residency

La Nueva Fábrica (LNF) is a nonprofit contemporary art space in Antigua, Guatemala. Founded in a former textile factory, LNF is dedicated to fostering experimentation, critical dialogue, and community engagement through exhibitions, public programs, residencies, and education.

Founded in 2013, the residency program is the heart of LNF. We welcome emerging and established artists, curators, and cultural practitioners from Guatemala and around the world.

The residency is:

• Research-based, not production-driven: there are no requirements to produce a final work.

• Open to all career stages and artistic mediums.

• A space to reflect, research, share, and connect across practices and communities.

• Designed to foster exchange with our local context: residents are encouraged to participate in LNF’s public programs, open studios, and community events.

Each year, LNF selects five residents through its international open call.
