Research is not an exercise carried out only in academia; human beings are always searching for knowledge they can debate, accept, or confirm as they encounter it in their surroundings. Curiosity is the basis of the research process, since it generates new interactions that result in experiences with a specific purpose, generally applicable to identified needs.
This is how, in 2004, Proyecto TESIS was born at the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Bogotá as a space to showcase the best graduation theses in the visual and plastic arts, with the aim of boosting the research-creation carried out by artists from Colombian universities.
The museum has become a visual and social laboratory, a setting for dialogue where different kinds of knowledge become a polyphonic piece, and a platform that propels graduates in their artistic careers beyond university life: their first appearance as new visual arts professionals before the public, with all the challenges and implications that involves, but with the support of a museum.
In keeping with the lessons learned from the global health emergency, the 2021 edition of Proyecto TESIS will take place in hybrid form, on our virtual platform and at the museum's physical site.
