Until July 23rd, 10 young contemporary creators will share their experiences in the fourth edition of the A Quemarropa residences at the Centro de Cultura Contemporánea Las Cigarreras de Alicante. (Centre of Contemporary Culture, Las Cigarreras, Alicante). These artists without borders are coming together with the aim of turning these residences into a multidisciplinary experience through different areas of contemporary art, with experiences ranging from experimental music, installation, performance, new technologies, graffiti, dance or illustration. These residences are an opportunity to generate ideas, build connections, facilitate exchanges, engage in meetings and dialogues between art and culture.

The participants will receive individual tutorials, talks, workshops and conferences hosted by professionals such as Pedro Fon Alba de SCAN, which is a platform for the diffusion of contemporary Spanish and Latin American art which is run from London; Javier Duero, critic, independent curator and cultural producer; Johanna Caplliure, curator, art critic, philosopher and independent researcher; Xandro Vallés from Aggtelek, a team of artists which works with creative processes focused on artistic research.
