Abstract

In this interview we talk with the art critic and curator Álvaro Medina about the connections between art and violence in Colombia, and how Colombian art can be thought in the contemporary context. Throughout the talk, Medina encourages us to reflect on violence as an identity trait and the way to understand the transformations of the artistic field and social imaginary over time.
