Exhibition “Transhuella”, by Manuela Echeverri

The “Transhuella” exhibition, of the “Palenque” series by Manuela Echeverri, shares a diverse cultural identity.

The Sofitel Legend Santa Clara Hotel opens a space for Colombian art from December the 1^st to the 31^st, with the local artist Manuela Echeverri, who introduces “Transhuella”, a segment of her exhibition “Palenque”. The artistic display Will be located inside the hotel, in the El Coro bar, where guests, visitors and residents of Cartagena can appreciate it in all its splendor.

“Transhuella is a tribute to the Colombian cultural diversity. It has taught me, from the simplicity of oneself, to recognize that there are people who think, eat, act, feel, live, and express themselves differently, to find something so simple that bring us together, taking us to the same road, happiness”, says Manuela.



“This exhibition is about recognizing ourselves in the other, because when we recognize ourselves in their culture, we learn to respect their image, heritage, and life, remembering that we are a diverse country and a mestizo population”, the artist concludes.

The work allows to travel trough the Colombian roots, as well as to support the community portrayed, which is in La Boquilla neighborhood of Cartagena, and the international NGO Save The Children.

Currently, the original works and different products derived from them are for sale, with the purpose of collecting resources to build a community dining room in La Boquilla.
