Binational Art Takes Over the Panopticon with 'Fusion: Sculpture and Intervened Photography'

The binational exhibition will be on view until September 3 in the east wing. Works available for purchase with free admission to the public.

The Panoptico Museum of Ibagué is preparing to host one of the most significant art exhibitions of the year, where Cuban and Colombian creativity intertwines in an extraordinary visual dialogue that promises to captivate contemporary art lovers and strengthen the cultural ties between the two sister nations.
An Artistic Encounter That Transcends Geographical Borders

The exhibition 'Fusion: Sculpture and Intervened Photography' represents much more than a simple art exhibition, constituting a cultural bridge that connects the aesthetic sensibilities of Cuba and Colombia through innovative visual proposals that explore new languages in contemporary visual arts.

This event is part of the Second Ibagué and Santiago de Cuba Art Meeting, an initiative that strengthens cultural ties between these two cities and demonstrates how art transcends geopolitical barriers to create spaces for encounter, reflection, and mutual enrichment among artists from different latitudes.

The east wing of the Panóptico Museum will be transformed into a visual laboratory where the intervened sculptural and photographic proposals will engage with the visiting public, offering unique aesthetic experiences that challenge traditional perceptions of these expressive media and their contemporary possibilities.
Curator Highlights the Importance of Binational Exchange

Antonio Aragón, curator of the Panóptico Museum, emphasized the importance of this binational exhibition, which allows us to appreciate the collaborative work between Cuban and Colombian artists in an unprecedented creative exercise in the musical city, where the visual arts find a privileged space for their development and dissemination.

The opportunity to witness this international artistic dialogue represents a privilege for the Ibagué public, who will have free access to high-quality aesthetic proposals that normally require travel to major urban centers or specialized contemporary art spaces.

The curator also highlighted the possibility of purchasing the works on display, making this exhibition a unique opportunity for private collectors, institutions, and art lovers who wish to incorporate original pieces by renowned international artists into their spaces.
