The article also profiles several artists, including Felipe García López, Carlos Alfonso, Leonel Vásquez, Jorge Barco, Linda Margarita Sánchez Méndez, and Tatiana Apráez, each contributing unique perspectives on themes such as fragility, food anthropology, sound, and the emotional resonance of objects.
