We are delighted to invite you to the art talk EL ORIGEN. Cosmogonías Americanas. Una revisión de personajes mitológicos y figuras arquetípicas de pueblos originarios del continente, led by renowned artist Antonio Briceño.

On this occasion, the artist reminds us that hundreds of indigenous cultures with diverse degrees of social and cultural complexity still exist on the American continent. The author has made the mythical and spiritual universe of these peoples the object of his study for decades. El Origen is a photographic series that offers an iconographic proposal to illustrate this intangible world of our original peoples before it is too late: archetypes, deities, mythological figures, concepts, emotions, and situations that, in general, belong to the mystical, spiritual, psychic, emotional, and symbolic realm.
