Curatorial research fellowship

The winners 2023

Vampires fear no looking glass is centered in the visual culture around El Grupo de Cali, active around the seventies and eighties of the XX century in Colombia and that is today one of the most revered creative gangs in Latin America, as creators of alternative gazes towards the social and urban tissue in contexts of marginality. Through photography, moving images, painting an archival materials this curatorial research project aims to suck the viewer in the myth of Caliwood, which far from being a local term, has settled in the minds of underground younger generations worldwide, confirming a need for rebellion in art making, fueled by vampirism, gothic and terror referents staged in a violent and tropical context.
