MAEC-AECID Grants, Scholarships & Assistantships 2020/21
Since its foundation in 1873, the Spanish Academy in Rome has played a fundamental role in the formation of various generations of Spanish artists and intellectuals. Today the Spanish Academy in Rome remains an essential instrument in Spanish foreign cultural policy.
It’s an institution of the General Administration of the Spanish State abroad whose primary objective is to contribute to the artistic and humanistic training of creators, restorers and researchers, with the goal of achieving a greater Spanish cultural presence in Italy, a better understanding of the cultures of both countries and a greater cultural link between Europe and Latin America.
Alán Carrasco is one of the artists awarded grants in this edition to develop his project Come un battito nel cuore during a long stay at the Spanish Academy in Rome, between February and October 2021.
