Cobertizo is a nice residence for production in terms of space and accompaniment. You also get in touch with some galleries. The cost is a bit high compare to the rewards received.
The studio are semi-private, for better or for worse. Loved the experience of Cobertizo!! Would highly recommend
Resources are limited in Jilotepec. I saw that as a challenge, but is important to take with you any essentials from the city in advance. Any way, take for sure that staff is ready to help you solve any problem. Wifi is not the best in the world, take that in mind if internet is a key part of your work. You will love the place, the food, and unique atmosphere.
The space is beautiful you are in the nature but also can go to the little town. The studio and the rooms are also very nice and can be use very well for any kind of practice . The team that works in the residency is also amazing and help you with everything. The food is the best. Being able to share my work with the otter residents and the mentor was life changing. Also the final open studio was really nourishing by sharing my work with people outside the residency. I highly recommend this residency.
Es interesante proponer un archivo constante de los residentes sobre los temas coincidentes y que detona el espacio y la región de jilotepec, por ejemplo un recetario, que era algo que comentábamos con Cármen, responsable del area de cocina. (It is interesting to propose a constant archive of the residents on the matching themes that detonates the space and the region of Jilotepec, for example, a recipe book, which was something we discussed with Carmen, responsible for the kitchen area.)
