AiR 2025 / Valentina Astudillo & Elena Wise
A residential project dedicated to the exploration of urban flora and its presence in our everyday spaces.
April 27 – May 9, 2025
In their project, the artists focused on connecting the world of plants, people, and craft techniques. In Pardubice, they organized two walks, and one of the outcomes of their residency was also an original zine.
Valentina Astudillo is a woodworker raised in the mountains of Chile and currently based in rural eastern Germany. She is interested in trees and plants—their traditional, medicinal, and craft uses—and in the ways people connect to them.
Elena Wise is an independent curator, researcher, and textile craftsperson. Her work engages with craft techniques and cultural memory to address social issues and imagine alternative futures.
The OFFCITY AiR 2025 residency project is made possible thanks to the financial support of the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic and the city of Pardubice. Thank you!
