Ana María Millán​: Mesa Verde
In September 2021, Fragmentos, Espacio de Arte y Memoria, presents its 2019 open-call winning project.

Mesa Verde, an exhibition by Ana María Millán, Las Andariegas, and Tarsila Beita, shows the result of one year of research. The project began with an exploration of role-playing games and ended with the creation of a video game. Mesa Verde addresses the relationship between animation politics, digital culture, subcultures, gender, and propaganda.

The exhibition will be open to the public until December 2021.

About Fragmentos
Conceived as a counter-monument in 2017 by the artist Doris Salcedo in Bogotá (Colombia), Fragmentos, Espacio de Arte y Memoria is simultaneously a living artwork, a space of artistic exhibition, and reflection about multiple memories of the conflict.

The artwork consists of a structure whose floor was made out of 37 tons of FARC-EP’s melted weapons, and counted with the participation of female victims of sexual violence during the armed conflict in Colombia. This space of commemoration is free and open to the public, welcoming diverse artistic lectures that re-elaborate various memories about conflicts, as well as allowing the construction of a collective vision of the future.

Fragmentos is a public space managed by the Museo Nacional de Colombia located in Bogotá, in the Carrera 7th n.° 6b-30.
