Pursuing a new path to creation and its communities
The CCFSP substantive program is aimed at the pursuit of new paths and possibilities of excellence for reflection, experimentation, and production in design, folk art, gastronomy, and contemporary art in an ongoing and collaborative dialogue with communities in Michoacán, Mexico, and the world.
We believe in the possibilities of imagination and creation in building models that improve the quality of life of the people and their surroundings, and that establish conditions for a peaceful, just, equitable, plural, inclusive, thinking, and proactive society. We set out to be the leading model of design, gastronomy, creation, critical thinking, and community dialogue in Mexico.
One of the strategies that we have proposed to activate the design-art-community is the organization of temporary residences of outstanding, innovative creators who seek to open channels of dialogue between the rich legacy contained in the memory and tangible and/or symbolic patrimony of creation in Michoacán, and the most cutting-edge and disruptive contemporary approaches to art in Mexico and the world in the quest for the construction of knowledge and creation of the highest caliber.
Through these residences, the Center will support research, production, and circulation of artwork, cuisine, and design, as well as a program for exhibitions, courses, workshops, certificate courses, encounters, round tables, innovative and accessible cultural experiences for creators and the public in general. This vision prioritizes the exchange of knowledge and the construction of supportive and resilient networks that focus on communities in Michoacán.
We want this new repurposing of the former factory, in the framework of community, creativity, and hope, to build a more solid social fabric and a new narrative where the experience is enjoyable and beneficial for everyone.
With your support we will be able to give scholarships to interested candidates otherwise unable to pay for their studies.
