  May 11, 2010

The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, will attend the inauguration of the multimedia exhibition, “Chicas, Chicas, Chicas” at 12:30 EDT (16:30 GMT) on Thursday, May 13.

The exhibit is sponsored by the Mission of Colombia to the OAS with the support of the Inter-American Commission of Women (CIM) and the Art Museum of the Americas.

This collection brings together the works of six Colombian artists (Ana Belén Cantoni, Lía García, Ana González, Camila Salgado, Natalia López y Verónica Moreno Possin -In memoriam-) and, according to its curator, Franklin Aguirre, “this exhibit seeks to encompass or broaden the current notion of woman, as well as her new relationships in the current complex historical moment, and from there to foment reflection on the condition of women in the contemporary world."

The display, presented in the framework of the Inter-American Year of Women, will be open to the public from May 13 to May 21 in the Marcus Garvey Hall of Culture of the OAS Main Building.
