Most cheLA activities are organized around a series of workshops, which may act in combination, are designed as areas of aesthetic, technological and theoretical concentration, and structured to promote their development. Its core activities are research and experimentation residences. As participants in the Parque Patricios neighborhood life, within the Federal Capital, are evident human needs. For this reason, the selection of interdisciplinary researchers participating residences, priority is given to collaborative projects that combine art, science and social interests.
