Last year\u2019s iteration featured nine interdisciplinary projects examining the climate crisis, including inspiring works by artist and ecofeminist Judy Baca and renowned Korean artist Han Ho.

Bert\u2019s multimedia work explores how ancient\u00a0traditions and modern\u00a0technology merge to create narratives of identity, human\u00a0memory, immigration, culture, and humanity.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">TheMuseum of Contemporary Art\u00a0in\u00a0Bogot\u00e1 presenting \u201cMythstories\u201d by multimedia\u00a0artist Carlos Castro Arias and curated by Gustavo Adolfo Ortiz Serrano.
