Blackboard entry by Jorge Restrepo

A Creative Pool project by Jorge Restrepo (Colombia)

Colombiage was inspired by the need to show the many different faces of Colombia and what a better way to do it than through its vibrant arts scene.

 Mainly performed in London, I created a collage mixing several elements between U.K. and Colombia. The festival was conceived as “collage” of talent, art forms and audiences; an alternative space for stimulating dialogues between Colombia and the UK, a space that would inspire new types of collaboration, encounters and discoveries.

I am graphic designer based in Barcelona, I love typography and I feel a particular obssesion by the color. I created a little editorial in Bogotá, Colombia and organize a congress of design titled fig.
