PRALAC

LAC’S PROJECT OF ARTISTIC RESIDENCIES

Since 2002, LAC has promoted an annual contest for the cession of Ateliers that operate in the cells of the old Lagos jail that houses LAC, which has been fully occupied throughout the last years.

However, although the occupation rate is 100%, the need was felt to stimulate a change in the creative processes resulting from the projects developed so far, promoting a greater exchange with other artistic realities that can stimulate the training of resident artists.

PRALAC – Artistic Residencies Program of the Laboratory of Creative Activities was created. PRALAC promotes the development of projects that stimulate creation within the various artistic areas. It is intended to attract to LAC’s space proposals that show contemporary approaches, that establish connections with the city where LAC is located, promoting the exchange with other realities, crossing experiences of creators from different origins, who will develop artistic projects, of any kind, individual or collective, whose space needs are compatible with the available space.

PRALAC also intends to promote research within the artistic areas, providing for such access to the Documentation Center available on the premises, enhancing the creation of new documentation that will be accessible to the public.
