On YouTube/MuseoNacionaldeColombia The exhibition Together Apart at the Museo Nacional de Colombia brings to Bogota a compilation of works from the 2017 and 2019 editions of the project Together Apart-International Encounter of Art, Thinking and Borders in Cúcuta.
This selection accounts for the transformation of the Colombian-Venezuelan border model through works by artists from the region and national and international authors who have addressed this issue. Memory, milestones and the present intertwine in a pendulum-like fashion, traversing the cyclical time of binational fraternity as a continuous present under the prism of the border.
A second part broadens the reading scope and places the Colombian-Venezuelan episode on a global scale, approaching borders and human mobility in terms of universal humanism, geopolitics and economics, models of citizenship, the representation of the media, art, or paradigms such as nation-states and racism.
