Venezuelan art arrives at the international academic debate.

Today, researcher Emilio Piñango (Université Sorbonne Nouvelle, Paris / Université Côte d’Azur, Nice) presents his paper “Cultural rights and free artistic creation: What analytical frameworks for a critical look at the Bolivarian Revolution and Venezuelan artists?” at the LASA 2026 International Congress, Paris.

The presentation is part of the panel “Cultural Revolutions of the New Left Regimes in South America”, coordinated by Dr. Caterina Preda of the University of Bucharest.

Among the cases the paper will address, Nina Dotti — the artistic alter ego of our founder Andreína Fuentes Angarita — will be one of the references for analyzing how Venezuelan artists responded creatively to a context of censorship and political pressure.

A Venezuelan voice at the center of the international academic debate.

What happens when the museum steps outside?
Andreína Fuentes Angarita has been answering that question with action for decades. A wall becomes a canvas. A beach becomes a screen. A neighborhood becomes an exhibition hall.
The new museology doesn’t ask whether art fits inside a building — it asks how art can reach people where they already are. From that conviction, Arts Connection has projected videos on the shores of Choroní, on Miami Beach, on the walls of Doral. It has brought exhibitions to communities that had never set foot in a museum. It has proven, time and again, that art needs no permission to occupy space.
The museum is not a place. It’s an intention.

For one evening, Albalat de la Ribera became the center of a conversation that matters.

On May 13, Andreína Fuentes Angarita inaugurated the international residency program of Plan B — the new contemporary creation center led by artist Rebeca Plana in Valencia’s Ribera Valley — as its first artist in residence.

At Casa del Bou, the two spoke about art, memory and territory: about how cultural management can actively intervene in the construction of identity, about affective museology as a living methodology, and about what it means to collect from the margins.

An irreverent collection is not just the name of the talk. It’s a way of existing.

Thank you to the community of Albalat de la Ribera, the Ayuntamiento, and Plan B for this inaugural encounter.

A new chapter for social museology.

Arts Connection Foundation announces that its founder, Andreína Fuentes Angarita, joins the ATK International Council as a Diamond Member — a foundational commitment to the Trans Q***r Archive (ATK) at Museo C.A.V. La Neomudéjar, Madrid.

This is a concrete action: it enables the hiring of a professional archivist, provides sustainability to the fundraising program, and builds a new structure for the new museologies that La Neomudéjar stands for.

Alongside this, we announce the donation of the Divas de Venezuela archive and the triptych Transdesicion to Museo La Neomudéjar — works born as resistance in Venezuela that now become part of a European institution dedicated to preserving the memory others prefer to forget.

From Caracas to Miami. From Miami to Madrid. The same demand, thirty years later.

How do you write the history of those who were forced into silence?

The Divas de Venezuela archive is far more than paper. It is a testament to resistance — to vigils held, to fights for identity, to the stories the system chose not to tell.
Among the works that Arts Connection Foundation will donate to Museo C.A.V. La Neomudéjar is the triptych Transición — a piece that was part of one of the first exhibitions of the Fundación de Artistas Emergentes and will now become part of the permanent collection of this institution in Madrid.

What was born as an act of resistance in Venezuela will find in Europe the preservation it deserves.

What began as a provocation has become a legacy.

In 2004, through the Fundación de Artistas Emergentes (FAE), Andreína Fuentes Angarita launched Álbum de Boda at CELARG, Caracas. It was not just art — it was a demand for citizenship at a moment when trans and q***r identity in Venezuela faced its harshest challenges.

FAE understood then that to change the future, you first had to make the present visible. That conviction — born in Caracas, built on the foundations of New Museology — is the same one that drives Arts Connection Foundation today.

Thirty years later, the seed is still bearing fruit.

Art as Andreína’s grandmother’s table: always with an extra plate, no matter who walks in.

Artist, museologist, cultural manager, collector — but above all, someone who decided that no was not an acceptable answer.

In her conversation with Coexpace she speaks about what it means to accompany without invading, to create without imposing, and to let a community recognize itself through art.

“Art saves” — and she has spent 25 years proving it.
