M.A.L.A 2025
M.A.L.A 2025
In this edition, our portfolio has increased, MALA has 30 residents and we have launched a new hybrid residency model, combining in-person immersion and online monitoring. We believe immensely in this format, as the intensive week provides a concrete experience of book making, a deep dive into the structures, materials and graphic experiments. This direct contact with the processes broadens the understanding and refines the practices of the participants, creating a solid foundation for the virtual meetings that follow, in which dialogue and continuous monitoring support the development of the projects over time.

Claudio Rocha (AKA Active Principle) is a visual artist from Earth, involved in the archaeology of images and seduced by colors, computer graphics and, of course, chance… Apparently, his curiosity has no formal limits, depicting the world in a subtly abstract way, but only when he manages to abstract the concreteness of the figures. From an inevitable contact with the collective unconscious, he exposes his sensations through deliberately evocative creations.
