PHILIA built a nomadic residency program year after year, inviting international artists to work locally with local materials for local events. PHILIA aims to explore and research, in collaboration with various artists, how art and design production could be made closer to the exhibitions. These residences are thought of as laboratories experimenting with different practices to study the feasibility of a sculptural design conscious of contemporary environmental challenges.

PHILIA invited artists in CDMX to research, experiment, and sculpt new creations for its Mexico showroom.

Among them, Pilar Zeta and Andrés Monnier were the first to be welcomed to this exceptional residency.

As guest of honour at Design Week República Dominicana 2023, Galerie Philia was delighted to present Montesino, an exceptional exhibition of contemporary design from Latin America, taking place in Santo Domingo.

Andrés Monnier was invited by PHILIA and Marmotech as a resident in Santo Domingo to sculpt pieces for this special event.
