La exposición “Lecciones barrocas” presenta una serie de pinturas barrocas sobre la vida de la Virgen María, que se ha alojado en la Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de Egipto desde el siglo XVIII y fue sometida a procesos de restauración a finales del XX.Los artículos que hacen parte de este catálogo informan sobre la historia de la colección, regalada por Jerónimo de Guevara y Troya a la iglesia; los procesos de restauración a los que fue sometida por parte de especialistas colombianos; los descubrimientos arqueológicos que motivaron mayor indagación sobre materiales y técnicas de representación en la pintura flamenca, y los elementos iconográficos que dan cuenta de los orígenes de las pinturas.En la presentación del catálogo se menciona que las pinturas de la colección y los grabados que complementaron la muestra constituyen “una faceta distinta, tanto técnica como temática, del período y estilo barrocos de Flandes durante el siglo XVII”, pues a pesar de servir a un fin devocional, también presentan el relato bíblico desde ciertas ideas sobre la virgen: como hija, esposa, madre y reina.Finalmente, como complemento a los textos de análisis se presenta un listado de obras en donde cada cuadro está acompañado por una explicación sobre los acontecimientos que tuvieron lugar dentro de las etapas de la Vida de la Virgen, así como las fuentes que dan cuenta de los mismos.

Abstract: The world is facing a global refugee crisis where people are being forced to flee their countries mostly due to violence and poverty; crossing borders to new nations hoping to find not only a new life and stability but also peace without losing their identity. In Venezuela, the Refugee crisis was established as a crisis, until 2019, that is why in the same report, the country does not appear in the ranking of countries with the most international displacement. Venezuela would be the country with the second most international forced displacement, where more than 4 million Venezuelans have fled around the world in the past 5 years. 1.3 million of these refugees have been received by Colombia’s government in the past two. Colombia - both its government and its people - has been very open to receiving Venezuelan refugees and it has been able to find ways to provide them the best options and conditions for them to either stay in a temporary or in a permanent way, but the situation is challenging. But the rapidly increasing flows of immigrants crossing the border, the unexpected numbers of groups of people arriving in Colombia, and the problems Colombia on its own is facing (high unemployment and poverty rates to name a few) are fundamental for this crisis to be even more difficult to solve. It was difficult to find solutions in Colombia even before Venezuela’s crisis, today a state of emergency has been declared in most cities across the 2,300 kilometers of shared borders. Inspired and influenced by this crisis, this Capstone project aims to create a local solution to Venezuela’s refugee crisis in Colombia; one, that can be replicated in all places that are going through the same or similar circumstances. What development tools can be used or included in these specific communities as part of the solution? How can we transform this crisis into an opportunity for both Colombian communities and Venezuelan refugees? This study is focused on implementing circular economies recommendations in temporal shelters for Venezuelan refugees in Colombia. Specifically, shelters that are supervised by Carminates Tricolor a Colombian/Venezuelan nonprofit. Taking into account that there are various routes and multiple organizations involved, the project will start by creating recommendations to the temporal and local shelters located in the section between Cucuta and Bucaramanga, one of the most dangerous routes that the walkers cross to get to their final destinations.
