A Barrier Free Exhibit in Colombia: The XIII Biannual Arts and Visual Expressions of Persons with Disabilities

The XIII Biannual Arts and Visual Expressions of Persons with Disabilities in Medellin, Colombia is being celebrated as part of the Ibero-American Year of Persons with Disabilities. Here the Association of Friends of the Physically Disabled are exhibiting works of art and visual expressions of persons with disabilities, from August 17 through 27 in Medellín, Colombia.

The event is open to artists without disabilities also. The objective is to share the interior world with others through the artistic expressions. It is also an opportunity for artists with disabilities to become better known and to expand their production.

The Association of Friends of the Physically Disabled recognizes the importance of art in the rehabilitation process of persons with disabilities, and has developed programs using artistic expression. The First National Painting Contest for Persons with Disabilities was organized by the Association in 1978. The event is held every two years and now we have reached the XIII edition. The exhibit is at the Sala de Exposiciones de Suramerica, with the participation of many artists from all parts of the country.
