“The title of the Art Museum of the Universidad Nacional’s “El Origen de la Noche” – The Origin of the Night – transcends the standards, inviting audiences to explore the origin of the night, which according to legend, was created inside a box.
The sacred wisdom of six indigenous communities are represented in this exhibition through photographs, a video installation, audiovisual archives housed in a “feather box”, as well as a collective show by seven artists from Switzerland, Brazil, England and Colombia.“
