Bogotá consolidates Bonart's international commitment
The presentation of Bonart Internacional 3 in Medellín and Bogotá, the numerous visits to its stand and the recordings of new podcasts consolidate the cultural links between Catalonia and Colombia through 'Visions of Catalonia'.
For four days, from September 24 to 27, Bogota concentrated much of the energy of Latin American contemporary art with a new edition of ARTBO, and Bonart was present with a double objective: to strengthen the links established with the Colombian cultural context and to continue building bridges between Catalonia and Colombia.
Bonart's participation in ARTBO is part of the development of Visions of Catalonia, an initiative of the Generalitat de Catalunya directed by Bonart that works on the international projection of Catalan creation and the establishment of new dialogues with the different cultural ecosystems. The presence in Bogotá has allowed to give continuity to a line of work that understands internationalization not as a specific operation, but as a process of relationships, complicity and mutual knowledge.
The coincidence with the presentation of the third issue of Bonart Internacional gave even more meaning to this Colombian presence. The magazine was presented in Medellín and Bogotá, consolidating Bonart's international editorial project and positioning Colombia as one of the essential scenarios for understanding the current dynamics of contemporary art in Latin America.
In Bogotá, the Bonart stand became a constant meeting point. Artists, gallerists, curators, institutions, professionals in the sector and visitors came to learn about the magazine, share projects and establish conversations that go beyond the four days of the fair. A succession of meetings that demonstrates the interest generated by the construction of new bridges between the Catalan and Colombian art scenes.
ARTBO thus allowed us to give face and voice to many of the relationships that had been built up to now through professional contacts, editorial projects and international outreach initiatives. The Bonart stand functioned as a space open to conversation and discovery, but also as a physical extension of a magazine that understands culture as a network of connections.
This intensity was also transferred to the Bonart podcast. During the days of the fair, several episodes were recorded that will be released soon and that will allow the conversations started in Bogotá to continue, with Fernando Cuevas and Ricard Planas as important figures. Among the protagonists are Camilo Bojacá, Wilmer Useche and Ana Sofía Esteban, in addition to other voices from the Colombian art scene who have shared with Bonart their trajectories, projects and visions on the present of culture.
The podcast thus expands one of the lines of work that Bonart is developing in its international commitment: generating content that is not limited to paper and that allows conversations initiated at fairs, exhibitions, museums and institutions to be kept active. The magazine becomes an editorial, audiovisual and sound platform, capable of accompanying projects beyond the specific moment in which they take place.
