“The 21st century is a time of hybridization, in which issues as fundamental as identity, gender, ancestral heritage, ecology, technology, social organization, and critical thought are valued in parallel”. Gustavo Ortiz, Director of MAC . For this reason, the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Bogotá-MAC opens 2020 with the curatorial project “Hybrid Identities”. A space for recognizing the ethnographic, the traditional, syncretism, territory, and the social. An experience built on recognizing the differences that unite us and the history we share in a country as diverse as Colombia.
