ARTIST RESIDENCIES AT DIGITAL ARCHIVES
With:
Ana Carucci
Delphine Melliès
Flavia Monfrini

July – October 2026
The Tramontana network was set up in 2011 with the driving idea of collecting and promoting aspects of the intangible cultural heritage of Europe’s mountains and rural societies. The network currently has eleven partners working in mountain contexts of France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Romania, Poland and Albania.
Until October 2027, the Tramontana Network is carrying out a Creative Europe project, co-funded by the European Union, that includes the management of sound and audiovisual digital archives, mostly related to rural and mountain regions, which amount to almost 10,000 documents that reflect the cultural, social and environmental richness of those territories.
For the second year, a group of selected artists will work directly with the documents of four digital archives that are managed by some project partners, in order to produce artistic works that could relate to the documented mountain territories, in different ways that would happen through in-situ residencies.
Being that, Ana Carucci (AR/ES), Delphine Melliès (FR), Flavia Monfrini (IT) and Irene Ballesteros-Pérez (ES) will develop, between July and October 2026, their own artistic practice in close contact with one of several of the following project digital archives:
Abruzzo Digital Archive (Bambun APS, Italy)
Binaural Nodar Digital Archive (Binaural Nodar, Portugal)
Soinumapa (Audiolab, Basque Country)
Oralitat de Gasconha (Eth Ostau Comengés, Gascony, France)
