The project aims to establish an intercultural exchange between three Fine Arts students, each from Mexico City and Zurich, and will culminate in an exhibition. By exploring the “Sense of a Place” (Lucy L. Lippard, 1997) and the artistic methodologies of approaching a place, the students will develop an independent project, focusing on the specifics of a place they are familiar with, for a virtual exhibition context. The engagement with familiar local conditions contrasts with outdated methods of exploring "the other". The project proposed is based on post-colonial approaches and a critical understanding of art in a global context, resists binary notions of centre and periphery in the art field and intends to use grassroots perspectives to promote diversity and local aesthetic practices as well as discourses with international relevance. The intercultural exchange takes place in dialogue, in preliminary workshops via Zoom and by experiencing the works of the other participants. The students' discussions about their approaches to places and their imaginative spaces for physical places unknown to them will be supplemented in the workshops with input from guests.
