Humanos, no humanos

Ending the myth of the exceptionality of humans and carrying out a painstaking process of discrediting anthropism would be the beginning of the recognition of the importance of all the living and perhaps of humanity projection into the future. Following up on these reflections, in October 2016, curator Ana Maria Lozano carried out a curatorship in the galleries of the Fundación Gilberto Alzate Avendaño with the participation of 18 artists so that, from their diverse perspectives, they could expressed in their creations (many of the works were installations of bodily character and therefore unrepeatable), visually, audiovisually, especially sonically, and even gastronomically, their positions in relation to the discussion "Human - Non-Human". This book documents the exhibition. The name of the exhibition pays homage to the book of the renowned art researcher Jean-Marie Schaeffer. "I dedicate this book to the female sloth bear. and her cub that years ago on the Cerro de La Popa was sold as a product, as if his life were disposable. Her look of wonder and fear has accompanied me over the years." (HKB Translation)-Page [3]
