Nomadic Presence & Satellite Nodes

Although EL CONSULADO NYC was initiated in New York, the project exists as a living, traveling platform that moves through cities where Venezuelan and Latin American diasporic communities gather. Rather than fixed branches, we imagine satellite nodes — temporary constellations of artists, organizers, and publics — activating spaces through exhibitions, screenings, performances, and conversations.

These nomadic activations allow the project to appear, dissolve, and re-form elsewhere, creating a network that grows through relationships rather than infrastructure. Together, these satellites weave a transnational map of shared cultural presence.

Current / Emerging Nodes include:

Each location reflects a different rhythm of migration, return, exile, and belonging while remaining linked through the shared language of Venezuelan and Latin American contemporary culture.

Artist & Filmmaker Exchange Network

Our exchange network supports the circulation of people, skills, stories, and practices across borders. It is not imagined as a traditional residency model, but as a mutual exchange system grounded in hospitality and solidarity.

We hold space for two primary forms of movement:

• Inbound Exchange — Toward New York

  Latin American artists, filmmakers, writers, and cultural workers are invited to spend 2–6 months in New York, engaging with diasporic communities, developing projects, and presenting work through our platforms and partner spaces. Stipends and travel support help make this movement possible.

• Outbound Exchange — From New York Outward

  Artists based in New York, many of whom already live between cultures, are supported in developing projects with partner collectives and institutions abroad. These journeys culminate in shared presentations, screenings, workshops, or interventions, building bridges across contexts rather than exporting a single model.
