Dear Friends and Supporters of <http://www.guapamacataro.org>Guapamacátaro,

We have just completed our fifth annual 
interdisciplinary residency in art and ecology at 
the hacienda. The site was rediscovered, 
explored, intervened and put to rest once again, 
in total hosting 20 artists, educators and 
activists from as near as Toluca, Mexico and as 
far as London, UK. There were many rich 
experiences, both inspiring and challenging, but 
in the end, it all became about exchange and 
collaboration. Please visit 
<http://amarvan.wordpress.com/>my new blog for a 
detailed report and some really amazing 
photographs of the artists and their work.

WHAT LIES AHEAD

September 1-15, 2010: Theater Project with 
<http://www.maboumines.org>Mabou Mines
I was approached by the NY theater company Mabou 
Mines to do a residency with us to work on their 
project currently in development titled 
"<http://www.maboumines.org/productions/corn>Corn". 
It will be a great opportunity for research, 
collaboration and community building.

October/November, 2010: Design/Architecture 
Project with 
<http://www.hunterprojects.com>DodoLab
Thanks to 
<http://freedimensional.org/>freeDimensional's 
amazing support and networking skills, we have 
established a partnership with the Canadian 
creative team Dodolab, which expressed interest 
in a fall residency that focuses on innovative 
design and architecture applications of local 
invasive plants.

Spring 2011: "Return" Residency
Due to past residencies' short duration and an 
interest in developing continuity, memory and 
collective history, in Spring 2011 we are 
inviting back all past residents to celebrate the 
program's 5th anniversary! Proposals from new 
artists will be considered for 2011 Summer and 
Fall sessions only (application details will be 
available late 2010).

We are in great need to cover administrative 
expenses and infrastructure repairs this year.
