Process-based, our work moves between spirituality, ecology, and culture, drawing from fieldwork and situated creation.
With over fifteen years of experience in artistic-pedagogical projects, collectives, artist residencies, and cultural management, we are passionate about accompanying artists at every stage of their careers. Through an open- minded approach and in deep connection to the essence of art as a tool for expression, we guide you in expanding your practice and broadening your creative horizons.
BONFIRE is the fruit of our path, a plural and evolving proposal that invites you to discover new forms of communication, inspiration, and coexistence. We are the directors and coordinators of the platform and all the programs it encompasses: personal guidance, online residencies, and nomadic art retreats.
