URURUGUAY JOINS LA NUIT DES IDÉES (THE NIGHT OF IDEAS)
Uruguay will have its first Night of Ideas on Thursday, January 27th, thanks to a collaboration between the Atchugarry Foundation and the French Embassy in Uruguay.
Initiated by the Institut Français in 2016, the Night of Ideas quickly established itself on the French and international agenda as a unique global event that encourages debates of ideas around major contemporary themes.
Since then, every year, simultaneously in more than a hundred countries, "La Nuit des Idées" brings together numerous audiences in cultural spaces on five continents to celebrate together the circulation of ideas and knowledge. With a festive and inclusive objective, various activities are developed such as round tables, talks, concerts and artistic performances.
It will be held at MACA (Museum of Contemporary Art Atchugarry), with a cultural proposal that invites to expand ideas, open debates and conversations and connect in one night with global ideas of contemporary thinking.

Goldwasser (Montevideo, 1961) will be representing Uruguay in the 59th Venice Biennale 2022 with his project Persona. Curated by Laura Malosetti Costa and Pablo Uribe, Persona disputes uniformity and disputes the idea itself of persona. Goldwasser's project was chosen by the National Visual Arts Commission in an open competition declared by the Uruguayan Ministry of Education and Culture.
