"The Eventual Common", by the artist Haizea Barcenilla, has been chosen in the call for the artistic residence at the AIT center in Tokyo.

The call is a joint initiative between Tabakalera - International Centre for Contemporary Culture and AIT - Arts Initiative Tokyo, with the collaboration of Spanish Cultural Action AC / E, the Etxepare Basque Institute, Eu Japan Fest and The Agency for Cultural Affairs Government of Japan . It aims to expand and promote the exchange of knowledge and experience between the Basque and Japanese artistic context.

Since the deadline for submission of proposals in late July opened, they have received a total of 15 projects, 7 and 8 presented by Japanese commissioners by Basque commissioners.

According to the commission of mixed valuation, formed by Tabakalera and Arts Initiative Tokyo, both the proposals by Haizea Barcenilla and Maki Nishida meet the quality and conditions necessary to be beneficiaries of the residences, and the trajectories of both applicants have the necessary solvency to develop the projects and make the most of the exchange in the context of the program.
