The exhibition ‘Cuerpo, amores y saberes; arte y representación afrocolombianas’ (Body, love and knowledge; Afro-Colombian art and representation) brings together the work of 4 artists whose aesthetic languages comprise photography, animation, illustration and portrait intervention. The show aims to highlight healing practices and knowledge about the body, forms of collective care, amatory arts and communion with ancestors, preserved in traditional and ancestral medicine practices among Afro-Colombian communities. These expressions of knowledge also comprise ways of carrying the body and contesting notions of privilege and distinctions created in colonial times, to question them and affirm other ways of being and exist in the world.
