The ancient port city of Cartagena de Indias, Colombia has national and international connotations, for it has been an important settlement site for primitive communities, crucial link between the Caribbean cities that formed the Spanish exploratory rout, and a remarkable place for introducing the new concept of independency and national identity. The modern city, named by UNESCO as World Heritage for Humanity, is composed of an original geography, a unique topography, a vital historic center and a series of contemporary urban expansions. It is due to the contrast between said components that the city acquires a turistic, cultural, industrial and educational orientatation without precedents.

The historic district where we operate is, in itself, laboratory, library and archive. Even though the historic walls physically enclose the sector where we act, our virtual site has no limits; we encounter followers, participants and observers in the most unexpected places in the world. We invite potential participants from the region, Colombia and around the world to obtain and expand their knowledge in the fields of art and design.
