This December 16 is born The Castle of the Arts, the first 24/7 art, culture and memory center in Bogotá.
This will feature artistic activities 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in the Santa Fe neighborhood of Los Mártires.
Thanks to the articulation with different public, private and community entities, this space, which functioned as a nightclub and was abandoned and in complete deterioration, was rescued and given a new meaning.
For Carlos Marin, director of the District Institute for the Protection of Children and Youth, IDIPRON, “the dream of El Castillo de las Artes was born because we want to have a space to manage all the territorial intervention at that point and in the 19 towns of Bogotá, and add the arts to arrive in the right way. More than an alternative, it is a commitment to ethics and aesthetics in the face of coexistence, from this new Social and Environmental Contract of the XXI century ”.
‘El Castillo’ leaves behind its dark past and will now be a cultural center
In mid-2021, El Castillo de las Artes, located at Calle 23 No.14 -19, plans to open a School of Arts and Crafts for Life, a museum of the night, a library, processes of social mapping, laboratories for collective creation, dialogues of knowledge, workshops for the reactivation of the arts and a permanent circulation stage for the arts (cinema forum, exhibitions, performances, interventions, concerts, plays and dance).
“The Castle of the Arts represents an effective solution to the revitalization of the city center and a commitment to the reactivation of the activities of the cultural and creative sector of this strategic area of the city. Likewise, it allows to redefine a stigmatized territory and convert it as a symbol of a caring city, of social inclusion and of new opportunities, positioning the center as a space in which creation does not stop “, he says Adriana Padilla Leal, Director of the Gilberto Alzate Avendaño Foundation – FUGA.
