Experience the richness of Colombia through the lens of SFAI alumni artists, Leonardo Rúa and Natalie Marx. Join SFAI Executive Director Jamie Blosser as we unpack the complex history and contemporary realities of Colombia, with a focus on the rich tapestry of Afro-Colombian art and culture.
Your travel experience will begin in Bogotá, with a macro perspective of Colombian history and artistic responses that address the historical roots of colonization and its impact on today’s social and political systems. Travel to the beautiful port town of Cartagena and nearby San Basilio de Palenque, the Americas’ first free black African town, to immerse yourself in the country’s sounds, rhythm, and gastronomic delights!
