Il Posto is pleased to announce the formation of Diagonal, its new Inter-University Network of Researchers. This platform brings together 10 students from graduate programs related to the theory and history of art, architecture and design, who will have the opportunity to participate in a series of meetings in which they will present and discuss their most recent work and projects.

About Diagonal

Diagonal is an inter-university platform created by the Il Posto Research Center in 2024 with the aim of promoting the meeting and the formation of links between students who are completing graduate programs in areas related to the theory and history of art, architecture and design. The proposal is simple: each year, we will select 10 master’s and/or doctoral students interested in furthering their careers as researchers and invite them to participate in a cycle of 5 bimonthly meetings in which they can present and discuss their recent work, projects and/or lines of research.

About the 2024 edition

This academic year, the invitation to be part of Diagonal was directed exclusively to students of the Master in Art Theory and History at the Universidad de Chile; the Master in Image Studies at the Universidad Alberto Hurtado; the Master in Art History at the Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez; the Master in American Aesthetics at the P. Universidad Católica de Chile and the Master in Latin American Art, Thought and Culture at the Universidad de Santiago.

After a successful call for applications and a highly competitive evaluation process, we selected 10 students from these programs who will join our Researchers Network during 2024. Those selected are:
-Martín Díaz (UCH).
-Florencia Guevara (UAH)
-George Somerville (UAH)
-Verónica Polanco (UAH)
-Tania Salazar (UAI)
-Sofía Montealegre (UAI)
-Henry Miranda (UC)
-Tomás Morales (UC)
-Juan Luis Tamayo (USACH)
-Tania González (USACH)

In addition to participating in the Diagonal meetings, the selected students will have the opportunity to publish texts of their authorship in a small digital dossier, compete for an exclusive place in the Il Posto Research Grant and participate in meetings with artists, guests and collaborators of Il Posto.
