“Little Spies Spread Around the City” | Residency journal of Bárbara Sánchez-Kane

With this film, CHERUBY delves into the threads left behind by Sánchez-Kane during his residency in Shanghai. It is not a retrospective of finished works, but an observational practice that brings us closer to his modes of thinking and processes of becoming. Centered on his working state, the film captures those moments in which materials are tested, structures are overturned, and the body is continually negotiating with systems—moments still in formation.

CHERUBY Resident Artist|Bárbara Sánchez-Kane

CHERUBY is proud to launch its inaugural residency programme. For our first edition, we have invited Mexican artist Bárbara Sánchez-Kane as our resident artist. During his three-month stay in Shanghai from September to November, our dedicated residency curators will provide support for his research investigations and facilitate local network connections. This residency marks Sánchez-Kane’s first participation in a programme of this kind throughout his artistic career, and CHERUBY is deeply honoured to support his contextual research while witnessing the unfolding of a creative journey in Shanghai.
