The aim is to create an accessible and international platform that nurtures artists and encourages a relationship with those that champion their work. The project reinforces CURA Art\u2019s mission to promote collecting with purpose.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Annually, selected patrons sponsor their chosen artists to take part in a residency for one month, currently taking place at Villa Lena in the hills of Tuscany. Each artist has their own studio space to provide time and space for self-led projects, while the collaborative nature of the program involves talks, workshops, and other events to promote the exchange of ideas. Shaped by an evolving\u00a0network of individuals committed to upholding creative\u00a0freedom, The Residency keeps community, accessibility and compassion at its core.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Residency unites artists from a variety of backgrounds, stages of careers, ages, mediums, and commitments. In its initial years, the program focuses on championing women-identifying artists, in response to data showing that only 13.7% of living artists represented in galleries in Europe and North America are women.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_22822\" style=\"width: 578px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22822\" class=\"wp-image-22822 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image0-2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"568\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image0-2.jpeg 568w, https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image0-2-266x300.jpeg 266w, https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image0-2-375x423.jpeg 375w, https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/image0-2-500x563.jpeg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 568px) 100vw, 568px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-22822\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">CURA Art Founders, Georgia Powell (left) and Liza Shapiro (right) \/\/ Photo Credit: Jayne West<\/p><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">2023 Edition<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2023, project patron <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/stephaniemanasseh\/?hl=en\">Stephanie Mannaseh<\/a> supported artist <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alejandraaristizabal.com\/\">Alejandra Aristizabal<\/a> to spend the month of June at Villa Lena. Here, we share their insight about the project and experience. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alejandra Aristizabal, born in Manizales, Colombia in 1987, is a visual artist working with natural resources, predominantly with the natural fibre, Fique. She studied Visual Arts at the AI of Miami and a master in communication in IED Madrid. She says of her practice:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFrom my place as an artist I wish to open conversations about nature, social narratives and manual traditions. I feel the need to be a part of this, aiming to connect and open an empathic visual space of communication and reflection. I believe in art with a purpose. Environmental purpose, social purpose and aesthetic purpose.\u00a0 I want to promote natural resources and materials, like Fique, the main material of my artistic work. I want <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to elevate autochthonous practices and native traditions, and people whose lives are sustained around the transformation of this plant. I want to give voice to crafters and rediscover manual practices. Through my art, I want to take you back to mother earth though a visually appealing journey.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_31781\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31781\" class=\"wp-image-31781 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/DSC7206ALEJANDRA-ARTIST-GROUP-3_CAMILLA-FATTICCIONI-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/DSC7206ALEJANDRA-ARTIST-GROUP-3_CAMILLA-FATTICCIONI-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/DSC7206ALEJANDRA-ARTIST-GROUP-3_CAMILLA-FATTICCIONI-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/DSC7206ALEJANDRA-ARTIST-GROUP-3_CAMILLA-FATTICCIONI-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/DSC7206ALEJANDRA-ARTIST-GROUP-3_CAMILLA-FATTICCIONI-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/DSC7206ALEJANDRA-ARTIST-GROUP-3_CAMILLA-FATTICCIONI-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/DSC7206ALEJANDRA-ARTIST-GROUP-3_CAMILLA-FATTICCIONI-375x250.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/DSC7206ALEJANDRA-ARTIST-GROUP-3_CAMILLA-FATTICCIONI-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/DSC7206ALEJANDRA-ARTIST-GROUP-3_CAMILLA-FATTICCIONI-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/DSC7206ALEJANDRA-ARTIST-GROUP-3_CAMILLA-FATTICCIONI-1367x912.jpg 1367w, https:\/\/www.villa-lena.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/DSC7206ALEJANDRA-ARTIST-GROUP-3_CAMILLA-FATTICCIONI-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-31781\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Artist Alejandra Aristizabal Studio at Villa Lena \/\/ Photo Credit: Camilla Fatticcioni<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stephanie Mannaseh is a consultant, art advisor and curator from Montreal, Canada.

Has it influenced your practise?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My time at Villa Lena was truly wonderful. As an artist whose work is deeply intertwined with nature, the opportunity to create, paint, and experiment with new materials in such a natural setting profoundly influenced my artistic practice. Interacting with artists from various mediums was incredibly fulfilling, and I hope that these connections will continue to flourish, opening up possibilities for future collaborations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Alejandra, what did you learn from the project? How did it feel to have an advocate for your work like that?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having someone who believes in me not just as an artist, but also as a person, is truly gratifying. While I have a deep passion for what I do, having someone who believes in my love for my craft is a constant source of encouragement. I am incredibly grateful to Stephanie for being my mentor on this journey. Her belief in me has been a guiding light, and I am thankful for her unwavering support.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Alejandra, Could you tell us about the work you gave to Stephanie?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My main material is fique, a natural fibre from Colombia.
