Transatlantic Encounters
Paris was the artistic capital of the world in the 1920s and '30s, providing a home and community for the French and international avant-garde. Latin American artists contributed to and reinterpreted nearly every major modernist movement that took place in the creative center of Paris between World War I and World War II, including Cubism (Diego Rivera), Surrealism (Antonio Berni and Roberto Matta), and Constructivism (Joaquin Torres-Garcia). Yet their participation in the Paris art scene has remained largely overlooked until now. This book examines their collective role, surveying the work of both household names and an extraordinary array of lesser-known artists. Michele Greet illuminates the significant ways in which Latin American expatriates helped establish modernism and, conversely, how a Parisian environment influenced the development of Latin American artistic identity.
Non-literary Fiction
"Non-literary Fiction examines contemporary art produced in Latin America in reaction to the growing tide of neoliberalism with its purging of specific social, ethnic, and racial meanings. Over decades, military juntas throughout South and Central America (often supported by the US) have brutally restricted freedom of movement and speech and caused whole segments of their populations to "disappear." Gabara shows how many Latin American artists since the late 1950s have strategically positioned their art as "fictions" in response to the social death and unspeakable violence that undergirds their experience.

Hagamos las paces.
Gozar de una Colombia en paz es, tal vez, uno de los pocos, acaso el único proyecto en común de los colombianos. El Acuerdo de paz firmado en 2016 inaugura un nuevo relato nacional en el que la paz es denuncia, propuesta e imaginación de vida que crea, inventa, controvierte e incomoda. En este libro, las artes documentan el hacer las paces en la Colombia del siglo xxi. Las diversas experiencias evocadas vislumbran vías inéditas de restauración de unos espíritus libres del odio y de la venganza mediante la desmovilización cultural de los imaginarios. En lo simbólico, las artes y las imagenes demuestran que hay miles de formas de hacer las paces.
Cantos cuentos colombianos
Cantos/Cuentos Colombianos is the most comprehensive exhibition of contemporary Colombian art ever shown in Europe. Ten widely recognized Colombian artists present a previously unknown world of images and experience worthy of international attention. With great formal and substantive rigor, the artists deal with their country and its troubled past and present through installation, video, photography, objects, performance and sound works. The book includes extensive photo-documentation of the artists' studios as well as in-depth interviews. Four prominent Colombian thinkers of varying political persuasions discuss political, social and cultural issues facing their country in enlightening and thought-provoking essays.
