Abstract
In 1983, the Museum of Modern Art in Bogotá established its Department of Architecture, a curatorial unit that was active until 1995. During that time, twenty exhibitions were presented, and eight of them were monographic shows. While at the start, the department focused on European architects, later on, more emphasis was placed on Colombian architecture. This emphasis echoed two significant events in Latin American architectural culture: first, the Seminars of Latin American Architecture, and second, the editorial series SomoSur. These two events encouraged exhibitions with a strong commitment to study, present, and celebrate Colombian architecture from diverse architectural traditions. Through archival research and interviews, this paper examines the intellectual reverberations between seminars, publications, and exhibitions. It highlights the use of monographic exhibitions and how they were channels for the continuous flow of ideas in the construction of Colombian architectural history.
