Celebrating the profound connection between art and healing, BotanicÁrte explores the role of artists as healers, showcasing their unique contributions to integrative wellness and activism. The exhibition features three artists: Liana Collective (Juan Pablo Caicedo, Giselly Mejía, and Angélica Cuevas), Gina Goico, and Misla. Each artist will be doing a site-specific installation, presenting their work in a holistic approach to healing through the arts, some are taking direct inspiration from indigenous traditions and others are referencing their context, histories, and practice.
