Colombiage was inspired by the need to show the many different faces of Colombia and what a better way to do it than through its vibrant arts scene.
Our goal is to “become the leading platform for the promotion of contemporary Colombian arts and culture in Europe, giving Colombia’s artistic talent a meaningful voice on the international stage while forging a strong cultural identity for Colombians living outside their country.
The festival was conceived as “collage” of talent, art forms and audiences; an alternative space for stimulating dialogues between Colombia and the UK, a space that would inspire new types of collaboration, encounters and discoveries.
Today, after three years of working passionately with artists and audiences alike, we are very much looking forward to the next phase of Colombiage. One where we can work with cultures from around the world and give way to fresh artistic experiments. One where we can continue to develop educational programmes that inspire audiences to get more involved in understanding their own heritage and culture. One where we can also work more closely with communities so they can be better integrated into the cultural landscape.
We invite you to take a glimpse at some of the work we have achieved over the past three years and join us in celebrating and promoting a culture that has a lot to offer the rest of the world.
