SOACHA: PORTRAITS
of colombians displaced by violence
September 2013
Project + Exhibition
LIA Lab, Bogotá, Colombia
This series is the result of an exhibition proposal by Meghan Keane,
envisioning the possibility of painting individuals who are under-represented in paint.
This vision was realized by collaborative support between non-profit exhibition space LIA Lab, Bogotá; Fundación Colombia Nuevos Horizontes, Soacha, on the outskirts of Bogotá; and meghan.keane.studio, Brooklyn.
It was also made possible by the generous support and collaboration of individuals:
Rodrigo Facundo (LIA LAB Director)
Sebastian Ramirez (Princeton University)
Marino Rivera (FCNH Director)
Leah Golubchick (American Museum of Natural History)
Ana Acosta (Brooklyn College)
Robert Rosales (Art Handling)
Laura Moretti (Photography)
and most gratefully to all FCNH friends
50% of each painting sale, after transaction fees, is paid as a commission to the Foundation for use of their space and to help sustain their important work with the displaced population in Soacha.
