Terremoto announces its open call for Vol. III of Travesías Terremoto, titled Falling into Amphibious Land. Curated by Colombian artist, researcher, and educator Adriana Salazar Vélez, this edition positions water as material, metaphor, and the axis of multiple contemporary socio-environmental conflicts. It understands artistic practices as spaces of resistance and political imagination, capable of rehearsing other ways of relating to the living.

The residency will take place in the Colombian Caribbean, in Mompox, one of the main ports on the Magdalena River, where local wisdom tied to ways of inhabiting, caring for, and building an amphibious world continues to endure. Within this territory, the project understands water as a multiple flow in constant relation with the land, and recognizes the river as a body that produces knowledge.

Travesías Terremoto is a residency program for Latin American and Caribbean artists conceived to create spaces for research and collective reflection across the continent. Organized in annual editions, each iteration unfolds in a different territory of the Americas and develops a line of research shaped by the local landscape and its socio-political realities. The program is funded and encompasses an immersive research trip, production support, a collective exhibition, and a printed publication.

The open call will run from April 30 to June 17 (11:59 p.m. CET).
