As part of CBAT's charter, we look to develop links with like-minded local and international arts organisations, foundations, institutions, and funders. As such we are pleased to work with a number of partner organizations in the UK and Latin America. Below is a summary of collaboration projects we have undertaken.
CBAT's partnership with Gasworks started in 2019 with CBAT's first sponsorship of an up-and-coming Bolivian artist (Andrés Bedoya) for a three month residency with Gasworks.
Gasworks is a prestigious contemporary visual art organization that provides studios for London-based artists; commissions emerging UK-based and international artists to present their first major exhibitions in the UK; and develops a highly-respected international residencies programme, offering international artists the opportunity to research and develop new work in London.

The Santo Domingo Centre of Excellence for Latin American Research (SDCELAR) is based at the British Museum; founded in 2019. It supports cultural heritage initiatives that are developed in Latin America and aims to create a network of communities that are interested in the heritage and material culture of the region.
