The FORUM of the latest edition of Pinta Asunción Art Week 2025 seeks to bring together curators, cultural managers, artists, and key figures from the local and international scene to engage in dialogue and collective reflection on fundamental issues in art today, such as community practices, curatorship as a political act, the current state of art in the region, the art–craft dichotomy, the problem of authorship in art, and cultural management as a practice of heritage preservation.
In its 4th edition, Pinta Asunción Art Week consolidates a diverse network of cultural spaces, museums, galleries, independent centers, and artist studios, connecting the city’s contemporary pulse with its historical vitality. This key articulation drives the core expressions of Paraguayan culture, strengthening Asunción’s artistic fabric.
Pinta Asunción Art Week presents a diverse group of curators leading the exhibitions in museums, galleries, and art spaces that are part of the event. Their perspectives shape a curatorial map that fosters dialogue between artists, territories, and communities, strengthening a collaborative and plural network.
