Extra! Extra! The Origins of Colombian Comics!

¿What if comics weren’t just stories… but history?

This week, Creative Take explores Extra Extra, an exhibition inspired by the research of the Biblioteca Nacional de Colombia, tracing over 70 years of Colombian comic history—from newspapers to cultural memory.
A journey through forgotten archives, iconic characters, and the evolution of a visual language that helped shape how a country sees itself!

¿What happens when a portrait refuses to stay the same?

In this episode of Creative Take, we explore Retratos, the exhibition by Esteban Mantilla at the Art Gallery of the Centro Colombo Americano Bucaramanga. Through layered images, fragmented faces, and symbolic elements, Mantilla expands the idea of portraiture beyond the traditional frame.

During the opening night, the artist painted live, allowing the audience to witness the transformation of the image in real time. Animals, symbols, and shifting identities collide on the canvas, creating portraits that resist fixed definitions and invite viewers into a visual journey.
Watch the full video and discover this exhibition at the CCAB Art Gallery. Retratos is on view through March 20, 2026. Free admission.
