And at the same time, how this impacts and is intertwined with humanity and its sensitivity, addressing issues such as the environmental crisis, ecocide and ecofeminism through art.

— Co-creation / Participation: the GAM 2025 programming seeks to expand the forms of relationship between art and society, going beyond the relationship between work and viewer. That is why we seek to integrate other forms and practices that consider dialogues and experiences between art and people, involving them and developing projects under the logic of collaboration, co-creation or participation. Additionally, projects that propose innovative methodologies will be valued, by proposing a more direct approach between people and the processes of artistic creation.
