The Círculo de Crítica de Obra is an initiative of Fabiola Menchelli, who seeks to offer a new educational opportunity for emerging artists. It is designed as a space to experiment and expand artistic research by developing works and fostering a generative and inclusive environment.
The Círculo has a duration of 6 months divided into 13 sessions. During the workshop, the time will be dedicated mainly to the exhibition of projects and group critiques, with the close accompaniment of Fabiola Menchelli and special guests to enrich both individual and collective processes. Participants will receive feedback and obtain multiple research resources on the work they are currently developing. Likewise, the Círculo seeks to generate a community of artists by facilitating creative processes among participants, thus allowing for a transdisciplinary and multi-experiential exchange.
The Círculo has acquired relevance for the artistic community. In three editions we received more than 290 applications from 15 different countries, and thanks to the support of our sponsors we were able to grant scholarships to 22 emerging Latin American artists, who were selected by a jury of renowned artists and art managers.

LTRL is pleased to present Circular el Tiempo, curated by Fabiola Menchelli. The exhibition arises from the project Círculo de Crítica de Obra and presents the work of 14 Latin American artists. The works gravitate around the idea of circularity, a polyphonic word that unfolds, expanding the reciprocity and sense of community generated by the Circle. The artists in the exhibition explore circularity as gesture, as verb, as process, as path, as social action, in relation to time, repetition, matter and image. They invite us to rethink circularity as an axis for reimagining and inhabiting new possible futures.
El Círculo de Crítica de Obra is a workshop for emerging Latin American artists. A horizontal space designed to advise the creative processes of the participants and to expand artistic research through accompaniment and group critique.
