Research Residency
From April to September 2023, Tara Lasrado, co-founder of ARVAE, is on a research residency in the SAE Greenhouse.
arvae cultivates grounds for transdisciplinary collaboration together with artists, scientists and other practitioners/experts. arvae was part of the «Mobile Soils» collaborative dinner series at SAE Greenhouse in 2022. The focus of the research residency is on questioning practices on transdisciplinary exchange and production; while sustaining the projects, relations and community we initiated together last year.
