Zonas Grises opens up a hopeful dialogue between the Museo de Antioquia, in Medellin, Colombia, and Centro León, in Santiago, Dominican Republic. It brings together artworks of Colombian and Dominican artists who are attentive to international dynamics that have affected city life, to reflect upon the transformations happening in economic, social and cultural dynamics promoted by globalization, and upon the problematics, consequences, and opportunities that expansion has generated in urban life.

In the art made in Latin America, a mature modernity and globalization coexist; right in that in-between is there the specific and diverse answers brought forward by the art produced in the global south, like the ones in this exhibition. It’s like if Garcia Canclini’s thoughts on the strategies to exit and enter took effect, not in modernity, but in its new age, globalization. Once more, neither black nor white, but hybrid gray areas [Zonas Grises], only that this time they are more consciously and undoubtedly more informed of what is happening in the world.
