A journey through twenty-one works and stories -from the pre-Hispanic past to the present day- about art produced, consumed, used and inspired in this country, from twenty-one case studies where we find transversal stories that are born of a collective and pedagogical reflection among professors of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities of the Universidad de los Andes. The work recognizes the artistic phenomenon in all its length and diversity: rock art, biombos (folding screens), plates, sculptures, installations, paintings, instruments made of ceramic, among many others, which are the protagonists of this approach to the artistic heritage of the country. The narratives are oriented through four axes that make up the book: identities, materialities, migrations and geographies, in which essential themes are addressed to understand the vast production of art in Colombia. This new approach offers the reader a vision of a larger Colombia and gives a more complete idea of how societies have related to artworks.
