During their stay, each resident had one day to lead a theoretical and practical workshop in which they shared an experimental technique with the rest of the group. The residency fostered the creation of a small, horizontal community based on collaborative learning, where eight different techniques were explored together and the exchange of knowledge and experiences was encouraged.
