INTERNATIONAL CULTURAL EXCHANGE
Continuum believes artistic collaboration, interpersonal connection, and a vital flow of ideas and good will among humans is essential for survival of the species and has become increasingly urgent as we move further into the 21st century. This necessitates thinking and acting across national borders.
To this end Continuum facilitates exchanges with artists from over 40 countries via performances, media production, educational activities, artist retreats, technical support (such as advocacy and providing writing help for non-native English speakers), and our residencies and projects abroad.
Continuum has presented percussion workshops in three universities in Bogota, an elementary school in Finland, workshops with Kurdish refugees in Germany, performances and workshops with dozens of musicians Buenos Aires. We have co-presented house concerts in Poland and the US since 2018 with the Wrocław-based Jazztopad festival.
Other activities have included projects with:
Bogota’s music collective LaDistritofonica, Maria Angelica Valencia, Ricardo Arias, Ricardo Gallo, Alejandro Florez, Santiago Botero,
Argentinian musicians and collectives including Pablo Díaz, Paula Shocron, Luis Conde, Guillermo Gregorio, Javier Areal Velez, Jorge Espinal, creatividad en movimiento, nendo dango records, and many more
