Tropical Gothic Art Exhibition & Pop-up-Sale

In the organizer's words:

Wild, vibrant and colorful, but also mysterious, mystical and complex, all this is Colombia. Transposed in a graphic style bursting with color and spice and considered unique in Latin America, this exhibition seeks to reflect exactly that. A true burst of ink and music straight from Cali, the "capital of heaven". Our beloved Injera, with its flair, tolerance and cosmopolitanism, could not be a more fitting place to experience this.

The exhibition shows a wide range of art prints and serigraphs by different artists*. Works by internationally renowned artists harmonize with those of graphic designers, professors and up-and-coming artists of various genres. All works were printed on sustainable sugar cane paper without bleaching agents in an elaborate production process involving a great deal of manual work and printing skills. Historical printing presses from the years 1870 to 1900 were used.

Thematically, the works repeatedly revolve around the following main themes, which are indicative of the reality of Colombia and were therefore reflected upon in an artistically comprehensive manner:

• The newfound pride in African roots in a society that continues to struggle against problems of racism and discrimination.
• Revolt, resistance and protest as an expression of an active civil society.
• Mysticism and mysteries of Colombia.
• Salsa, Son and joie de vivre, which, of course, are integral parts of the Colombian culture of life.

A stencil graffiti, a photo series or poster campaigns on individual days illustrate the proximity of the works exhibited here to forms of street art.

¡Access to art for everyone - that's what Arte Popular Latino stands for!

We want to bring art closer to the people by creating experiences, spaces and events where art as a catalyst triggers thoughts, conversations and exchanges about global, but also local issues of our "one world".

In particular, we support artists and emblematic artisans from the Global South to continue their journey. We do this by promoting, exhibiting and selling their work in various contexts. Experiencing art with all the senses, joint reflection and exchange between all participants are always at the heart of this.

In this sense, today's invitation for reflection is addressed to you - we are looking forward to the common exchange.
