Robbie Schweiger is an art historian, slavist and independent curator. He works as a researcher at Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and recently founded GELIJK IS ONGELIJK, a project space for local heritage and visual arts on the former island of Marken. His projects focus on dissecting grand narratives of cultural imperialism, spaces between fact and (science)fiction, and alternative physical and ethical connections to the more-than-human.
A native of Xochimilco, Víctor Federico Contreras created acollage-installation composed of everyday materials, collectedstories, and edible pigments. His piece reclaims the visual languageof community life—market stalls, flower boats, murals—and rendersit into a tactile memory map of the territory. Víctor frequentlyleads chinampera painting workshops using natural dyes fromXochimilco, inviting participants to eimagine the land as both canvasand archive. His collaboration grounds the residency in embodiedlocal knowledge.
