RASP-IR is a residence program that envisages immersing two artists for a year in public institutions in Brazil to create processes and/or objects in collaboration with staff.
RASP-IR is compatible with the Instituto República’s aim of investing through art in the personal development and training of government employees.
The specific objectives are: to identify and promote ways in which the arts can collaborate with the public sector to draw attention to their value and importance and change the way society sees them; to establish dialogue between artists, projects and people in the public sector by way of an open process; to set up social engagement projects; to develop projects that form ties with groups of public sector workers that have an impact on their work dynamics and everyday lives.
The proposals should be participatory, involving projects and employees from public institution partners.
In its first edition [2018-2019], RASP-IR invited two artists to work in public institutions partnering with the Instituto República in Rio de Janeiro. CADU worked with the Municipal Department of Education and Tatiana Altberg with the State Department of Public Security – Under-Secretary for Education, Personal Development and Prevention.
