caja negra

In 2026, La Escocesa began a collaboration with Caja Negra Editorial to explore practices of writing, listening, and thinking linked to artistic creation and research.

Caja Negra is a thinking entity, a tentacular organism whose mission is to map the history of radical episodes of aesthetic, political, and vital experimentation. From these experiences, it creates books, and from these books, a proliferation of alliances, cultural activations, discussions, and critical resources aimed at deprogramming the machinery of the present and multiplying uncertain futures.

Its catalog offers a cross-sectional journey through the fields of essay, literature, film, visual arts, and music, promoting the coexistence of heterogeneous materials and the multiplication of surreptitious connections between them.

As part of this collaboration, workshops, meetings, and activities will be developed with the resident artists, aimed at fostering the transfer of knowledge among artists, writers, activists, and other cultural agents. An example is the workshop “The question and the contradiction”, led by Dani Zelko, held in February 2026. The proposal invites placing one's own questions and contradictions at the center of the creative process, as a way to review individual and collective practices, refine intentions, and open spaces for dialogue and experimentation.
