In a collaboration between the embassies of , Argentina, Italy, Chile, Spain, Colombia, France, Mexico,and Portugal, supported by the European Union National Institute for Culture, an extraordinary exhibition has been brought to life.
This exhibition will be a platform for artists and scholars from Europe, Latin America, and Africa to come together and shed light on the impact of a pivotal moment in human history and its relevance in today’s world.
The exhibition draws inspiration from the notion that archeology has always been intertwined with design, representing a form of “reverse engineering” that uncovers the layered ways in which we continuously reinvent ourselves.
