Curator in Residency 2022
With Mario Alberto Llanos May–July 2022
We are honored to welcome and host Mario Alberto Llanos from May–July 2022 in the SAVVY space.
Mario is a curator and researcher based in Colombia who currently collaborates with us in the framework of our project FOR THE PHOENIX TO FIND ITS FORM IN US. ON RESTITUTION, REHABILITATION, AND REPARATION. He is interested in creating bridges across space and time between the cultures of the Colombian Caribbean and that which was stolen in colonial times. He approaches these bridges by using spiritual vibrations and forms of communication typical of other forms of life.
