I ENCUENTRO AFROCOSTARRICENSE DE ARTES VISUALES

[ESPAÑOL AQUÍ]

CONCEPT

Art demands diversity and the I Encuentro Afrocostarricense de Artes Visuales is a call to the public to acknowledge the underrepresentation of the afro community in the visual art scene.

This gathering encourages the exploration of the richness, the diversity, as well as the problems of the afro experience in Costs Rics, in order to understand the need to open more spaces for the afto community both inside and outiside the artistic world.

This exhibition is a space created within the afro community for the community, where the artists decide how to be represented and represent themselves in the world. It is also a reminder that we have the responsibility, as a community, to demand acknowledgement in the existing artistic spaces.
