To mark the end of his month-long residency, Santiago Rojo will host an informal open studio, offering visitors an opportunity to learn about his time in Cornwall and see work in progress.
Santiago Rojo is visiting from Oaxaca, Mexico. He works across painting, photography, moving image and installation to highlight changes in the economic, social, and political processes of a place. Rojo is an active member of artist collective Obras Selectas de Antequera, dedicated to the exhibition of contemporary art in Oaxaca, and Turista Mundial Colectivo, whose works reflect on how global economic systems disrupt local environments.
The exchange between CAST and the Centro de las Artes de San Agustín Etla (CaSa) in Oaxaca, Mexico is supported by Art Fund. Santiago Rojo’s residency is supported by Sistema de Apoyos a la Creación y Proyectos Culturales (SACPC), a grant scheme funded by the Mexican Department of Culture.
