The latest series of Digital Reflections from the Contested Desires: Constructive Dialogues (CDCD) project is now available online, further expanding the project’s digital platform as a space for critical exchange and in-depth exploration of artistic research processes.
Conceived to open up evolving, process-based lines of inquiry, the Digital Reflections offer access to works emerging from the individual practices of the participating artists, as well as from their experiences during the artistic residencies. Each residency developed differently, shaped by its specific location, cultural context, and institutional framework, and the archive reflects this plurality of approaches and perspectives.
Within this framework, the Digital Reflections extend artistic exploration into the digital realm, presenting the archive as a dynamic space rather than a static repository. The contributions mark significant stages in the artists’ creative journeys, documenting moments of experimentation, reflection, and transformation.
Developed within the CDCD project, the three-part Digital Reflections series was produced with the support of Pro Progressione and under the professional guidance of digital curator Małgorzata Miśniakiewicz. Taken together, the Digital Reflections form a collective archive grounded in experimentation, research, and dialogue, offering audiences new ways to engage with the project’s critical questions and ongoing processes.
The first series featured reflections by: Andreas Mallouris, Charmaine de Heij, Carlos Noronha Feio, Dorottya Marton, Emiddio Vasquez, Gloria Oyarzabal, Isaac Nana Opoku, and Lais Andrade.
The second series brings together contributions by: Amaia Molinet, Bona Dyssou, Claudio Beorchia, Elisabeth Efua Sutherland, Mohamed Ben Slama, Nicolas Kyrillou, and Rafael Guendelman Hales.
The third series presents Digital Reflections by: Maria Luigia Gioffrè, Maya Louhichi, Patrick Ngabonziza, Paul Nataraj, Rocío Paz Guerrero Marín, Sithabile Mlotshwa, and Sümer Erek.
These final reflections complete the series, giving rise to narratives that rethink the concepts of heritage, belonging, and collective memory.
