We live in a country full of diversity; we sense it in the air with thousands of birds and butterflies that go beyond the spectrum of the rainbow; in the geography with monumental mountain ranges, snow-capped peaks, plateaus, valleys, canyons, rivers, waterfalls, beaches and coves, in the fusion of musical rhythms with Indigenous, Black and White roots, and likewise in the flavors of our foods and the multitude of fruits that seduce us with their shapes and aromas.

Faced with such a scenario, we Colombians have every element needed to accept, understand and respect one another as beings with different outlooks, with different customs, with diverse languages, with incomparable ways of thinking; this invites us to get ahead of the curve of history, it is time to reconcile, to come together, to recognize one another, and there is no better path than culture, which breaks down borders, levels differences and opens horizons.
The Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Bogotá invites you to the exhibition of the 4th Faber-Castell National Drawing Contest "Reconcili-Art." The show, which is divided into the professional, school and university-student categories, is the result of an open call to creatively capture the vision of a diverse, inclusive, respectful and reconciled nation in which we all belong as citizens.
Open to the public from August 9 to 31, 2014.
