Concepción 41

Director: Maria Rondeau

Concepción 41 is a critical space, open to creative and experimental artistic practices and the development of cultural knowledge focused on interdisciplinary and intercultural collaborations based on dialogue and production.  The goal of C41 is to promote the considered interaction between various disciplines – visual arts, architecture, video, music, literature, poetry, dance – by inviting resident artists interested in contributing to the development of this collaborative dynamic.  Located in La Antigua, Guatemala, Concepcion 41 is sited in what was formerly the convent of La Concepcion, built in the 17th century, and destroyed by the earthquake of 1773.
