MARIA FERNANDA CARDOSO took part in a residency in Chocó Base, in the pacific coast of Colombia from December 2013 to January 2014. Cardoso’s experiences with water during the residency lead to the contribution of a chapter in a publication by Más Arte Más Acción, exploring ‘water’. While reflecting on the theme of water, Cardoso presented her work The Museum of Copulatory Organs. Communities of Chocó selected the theme of water for the topic of focus due to the increased contamination of rivers, affecting the indigenous communities and the region’s biodiversity.
The book launch is on 26 February at the Museo de Arte at the National University of Colombia, Bogota campus and on 11 March at the University of Antioquia, Medellín.
