Rivers and silences - Juan Manuel Echavarría

• Company: Museo de Arte Moderno de Bogotá - MAMBO

Project attributes

The exhibition Ríos y silencios (Rivers and Silences) of the renown Colombian artist, Juan Manuel Echavarría, is built on the form of a sensitive ethnography, that dislocates and puts us in the place of someone else, vanishes cultural archetypes and encourages a dialogue with the history and conflict of Colombia, its geography and its important characters.

It provokes a rupture in those who from the city ignore and overlook the reality of the Colombian territories who have lived a history of violence and war.

For more than twenty years of artistic work, Juan Manuel Echavarría and the team of the Fundación Puntos de Encuentro, have travelled to places and territories, epicentres of the rural Colombian war.
