Schulman is in residence in Lagos through an opportunity offered in collaboration with Feria Ch.ACO to support artists from Latin America in the first years of her career. For her residency project, Schulman will follow in the footsteps of the Chilean writer Roberto Bolaño in Mexico City, through his novels and stories, physically visiting the places mentioned, which will lead to a process that will involve intensive writing, to finally become a publication or a video. It will be a research process in which the body, space and writing are combined, and from which different media and materials - possibly graphic or visual fiction, narratives of space - will originate.
