Curatorial Text:

Videograma is a festival organized in Colombia in 2015 with the purpose of creating a specialized space for the encounter and debate around the multiple practices of video within the contemporary visual arts. This initiative aims at linking new audiences to the growing production of video art and the different places of circulation as the public space and the traditional spaces of exhibition.

This first version of Videograma will make special emphasis to public space by proposing three places of encounter in the urban space looking for an increase in the number of spectators, linking artists, students and common people who walk by the spaces of the sample. The selected works will be grouped in three curatorial axes intending to give visibility to this gender in Colombia with national and international representatives and with presence in different spaces of the city. This Festival was presented in Bogotá, Cali and Pereira, Colombia, and for November 2017 an itinerant show was invited to be presented at the "II Contemporary Art Festival of Manizales", Manizales, Colombia.

This sample of video art searches that both specialized persons and the public in general might have an approach to this language thru three topics, with national and international artists from 18 countries, 4 continents.

Curatorial axes:
1. Body and self-portraits
2. City and territory
4. Flows and Movements 1
5. Flows and Movements 2
