It is home to a close-knit community of international students from across the world. Students and teachers jointly create an environment for learning that brings together thinking and doing.

The academy has twenty workshops at its disposal. Some of these are for general use and others are specific to particular departments. The workshops enable students to experiment with different techniques and materials and provide the opportunity to learn to use professional equipment. They form the very heart of the academy.

'I used to think City was a nice name' is the English version of my videowork 'Solía pensar que Ciudad era un nombre lindo', that was made for the artist residency Casa Belgrado in Buenos Aires during their lock-down in 2020. The video depicts the street Avenida Belgrano in a time before Covid19 was commonly known, and during the extensive lock down of the city, it was shown in the residency's window facing that exact street. While everything but supermarkets and pharmacies was closed, passers-by had the chance to see the work that is speaking about a past, present, and future of the very spot they'd watch it from.
