Program Description

Cruce – Space for Transformation is an ongoing programme by AADK Spain, designed for artists, thinkers, and independent professionals seeking time and space for creation, reflection, or remote work. Located in Centro Negra, a restored mountain-side complex in Blanca (Murcia, Spain), the programme offers a unique environment where art, research, and daily life merge. Participants may stay from 2 weeks to 6 months, accessing artist studios, coworking areas, and event spaces. Cruce encourages independence and exchange, creating temporary communities that connect contemporary creation with the rhythms of rural life. The programme supports self-directed projects, interdisciplinary practices, and alternative ways of living and working in close dialogue with nature and the local context.
