The Santa Clara Museum is hosting “Concordancia vital: lo sagrado en María Teresa Hincapié” (Vital Concordance: The Sacred in María Teresa Hincapié), an exhibition dedicated to the work of Colombian artist María Teresa Hincapié, known for her contributions to performance art in Colombia and Latin America. The exhibition brings together actions, photographs, and audiovisual records produced between 1992 and 2006, a period during which Hincapié focused her artistic practice on themes of the sacred, care, and contemplation.
Curated by Paula Bossa and Pavel Vernaza, the exhibition creates a dialogue between Hincapié’s work and the museum’s historic architecture, highlighting ideas of ritual, spirituality, and embodied experience. The exhibition also coincides with the reopening of the museum’s upper choir loft, a heritage space that is once again accessible to visitors following a restoration process.
This exhibition is part of “Of the Universal Sacred,” the first live arts festival organized by Colombia’s Ministry of Cultures, Arts and Knowledge. The exhibition will remain open to the public until August 9, 2026, at the Upper Choir Loft of the Santa Clara Museum in Bogotá.
