The Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation—CIFO—announced the winners of its fellowships for 2016. Among the 10 new fellows, 4 are Colombian: María Evélia Marmolejo received the CIFO Achievement Award in recognition of her outstanding career, while Jorge Julian Aristizábal, Carlos Castro and the collective formed by Fernando Pareja and Leidy Chávez won the mid-career award. The Emerging Artist award went to Elena Damiani and Sandra Nakamura (Peru), Fidel García and Fabian Peña (Cuba), Oscar Farfán (Guatemala), and Felipe Meres (Brazil). Next September 1st, CIFO will present an exhibition with the award-winning works, featuring a performance by María Evélia Marmolejo, Conciencia dopada ("Doped Consciousness"), where the artist explores issues of identity and collective consciousness. Marmolejo, who stopped producing art for nearly 28 years, reengaged her career in 2013; despite the long silence, her relevance and her contributions are undeniable, and she is considered one of Latin America's most politically radical artists of the 1980s.
