The artistic collective Comida de Guerra was created at the beginning of this decade in London by two Colombian artists, initially inspired by social and cultural phenomena coming from the Middle East. Later, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, and the development of Gastroperformance were the collective's next steps.

With artists mostly from Europe and Colombia, it was only a matter of time before Comida de Guerra turned its attention toward Latin America, working on different themes in countries such as Brazil, Peru, and Mexico.
Comida de Guerra in Colombia marks the beginning of a new path, where the collective and the artists invited to collaborate are inspired both by the complexity of the country's conflict-related stories involving food and by initiatives that seek to heal and empower through working with the fruits of the land.
