The Miguel Urrutia Art Museum (MAMU), located at Calle 11 and Carrera Cuarta, is currently hosting two free temporary exhibitions.
The cultural space is open for these exhibitions every day of the week, closing only on Tuesdays.
In these works, the power of civic protest is contrasted with the global everyday life of children.
Digna Rabia: Protest as a Creative Force
On the third floor of the building is “Digna Rabia,” an exhibition drawn from the Banco de la República Art Collection.
The exhibition brings together more than 300 works in formats ranging from painting and photography to graffiti and murals.
The central concept explores rage not from the perspective of destruction, but as a creative force and a tool of resistance.
The thematic tour spans from the 18th century to contemporary artistic expressions.
The galleries explore countercultural movements such as punk, the recent social uprisings, and various currents of feminism.
The installation will remain on view at the museum through March 2027.
Children’s Games: Disappearing Traditions
The second offering of free exhibitions.
*Juego de Niñxs*, by the Belgian-Mexican artist Francis Alÿs, is located on the second floor.
The exhibition consists of 27 audiovisual pieces documenting a series of traditional children’s games played in different parts of the world. Modern urban dynamics threaten their survival.
The artist’s body of work offers insight into how different cultures construct their own ways of experiencing childhood and engaging with their environment.
This exhibition will be open to visitors through August 24.
