Bogotá and Mexico City are among the cities with the greatest bird diversity in the world: Bogotá is home to 550 species, while Mexico City has 365. Inspired by this observation, Mexican artist, poet, and educator Yunuen Díaz presented a series of ten habitable nests at the International Biennial of Art and the City, BOG25—a collaborative creation with basket weavers from Apulo, Colombia, installed in the plaza of the Gabriel García Márquez Cultural Center of the Fondo de Cultura Económica.

Both the exhibited and the stored works draw attention in Matilde Marín’s studio. On the walls, her emblematic photographs steal the gaze, but so do the wrapped and labeled folders on her tables, the boxes full of books on the floor, and the stacks of files on her shelves.

For Miami-born artist Alex Nuñez, inspiration often springs from the familiar yet unsettling details of everyday life in South Florida. Her latest project, "There’s a Gator in the Pool", takes a symbol that outsiders often fear and transforms it into a playful, layered metaphor for life as a Floridian. The exhibition is on view at the Faena Art Project Room in Miami Beach through September 14th.

This past April 2025, Venezuelan artist Samuel Sarmiento (Maracaibo, 1987) opened his solo exhibition, Primordial Marshes: Of Waters and Goddesses, at the Claustro de San Agustín of the National University of Colombia. Curated by María Belén Sáez de Ibarra, the show features over 100 works—ceramics, watercolors, and paintings—created by Sarmiento from 2013 to the present. The exhibition presents water as a fertile ground for human stories and myths, focusing particularly on narratives from the Caribbean islands, where the artist resides.
