2.11.25 – 30.11.25
In this digital residency, Esyllt Lewis and Carlota Sousa Nóbrega will give continuation to their ongoing collaboration, The Process
.
Prompted by their shared curiosity about the act and performativity of making artwork, The Process is a set of nine steps, devised by the artists to lead them to the creation of work. By performing these steps, the artists test the boundaries between process and outcome, exploring the act of making art as artwork in itself.
These steps are simple, repeatable, and deliberately open-ended, designed to be revisited each time they come together. Until now, The Process has always taken place in person; however, in this digital residency, Carlota and Esyltt will enact it online for the first time – and you are invited to take part!
Over three weeks, the artists will meet online every Thursday (9th, 16th, and 23rd of November) to perform The Process with three guests. Through this exercise, the artists and their guests will explore meaningful ways of sharing ideas and creating work in a digital space, revealing how collaborative creativity can emerge beyond the studio. The meetings will be live streamed, offering audiences the chance to observe, reflect, and engage with the unfolding work in their own way.
The artifacts emerging from each meeting – sketches, notes, ideas and more – will be collected and compiled into a digital zine that will later be published alongside the meetings’ recordings on the Arcade Campfa’s website. Together, the recordings and zine will not only document the residency but also become part of the work itself, a living footprint of The Process that took place.
