The ‘Terca Esperanza’ exhibition is housed at the Centro de Memoria, Paz y Reconciliación, a venue dedicated to preserving Colombia's history. Comprising nearly 100 pieces, the display traces key moments of the armed conflict that has shaped the nation for decades.
Notable items include a typewriter once owned by Guillermo Cano, a journalist killed in 1986, as well as embroideries made by families searching for disappeared public force members. Photographs from the 2003 El Nogal Club bombing, which claimed 36 lives, are also featured. These artifacts, organized into more than 10 modules, are curated by over 63 collectives and organizations, ensuring a plural and honest viewpoint on the events.
Opened on December 11, the exhibition adopts a permanent approach but will be accessible to visitors until January 31. Admission is free, with hours from Monday to Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. This effort highlights the drive to acknowledge the conflict's widespread impact on Colombian society, fostering reconciliation through shared memory.
