ISLAA is delighted to announce the summer 2023 Writer in Residence call for proposals. For the first time since this program’s founding in 2018, ISLAA issues an open call for proposals, inviting all emerging and established researchers, including students, faculty, and independent scholars, located globally to apply.

The Writer in Residence program offers a “first look” into newly processed primary sources and provides the opportunity for research on exceptional artists and movements from postwar and contemporary Latin American art.
selected Writers in Residence will work remotely to explore materials from one of three fully digitized collections from the ISLAA Library and Archives.
Among the collections selected for the open call is the Manuel Herreros de Lemos Collection. The archive includes a restored digital edition of the film "TRANS," a 1982 documentary film that pays homage to the testimonies and experiences of transgender women in Caracas, Venezuela. The collection also includes photographic prints taken by Herreros de Lemos during the documentary’s preproduction phase and ephemera related to the film. All of the materials in this collection are in Spanish.
