Andrea Galano Toro is the artist-in-residence for the 2025 Residency Programme in collaboration with the Ministry of the Cultures, Arts and Heritage of Chile. During her residency, Andrea will further develop Assemblage(s), a research-based project that speculates on vehicles and models of language-in-kinship with more-than-human companions – from microbes to dust, gut ecologies, and the microbial life embedded within technological devices.
Through the repurposing of technological tools such as microscopes, the project explores how practices of observation can shift from measurement and control toward relational, affective modes of sensing. These speculative languages – shaped by questions of scale, decomposition, and contagion – emerge through material, graphic, and audiovisual experimentation.
