I BIENAL INTERNACIONAL DE GRABADO “AMIGOS DE LA HUELLA” - COLOMBIA 2027
The I BIENAL INTERNACIONAL DE GRABADO “AMIGOS DE LA HUELLA” – COLOMBIA 2027 was created with the purpose of highlighting the importance and continuing relevance of printmaking in contemporary art, bringing together and recognizing outstanding artists who, from their countries of origin, have made this discipline a fundamental reason for their artistic practice and an essential means of visual expression.
Since the creation of the Taller de Gráfica La Huella in 2005, the participation of artists and printmaking enthusiasts from different regions of the world has been continuously encouraged, promoting their meeting in Colombia through the nine editions of the Exposición Internacional de Grabado “Amigos de La Huella”. This process has involved the participation of more than 3,000 artists from more than 60 countries across the five continents, consolidating a space for exchange, dialogue, and recognition around printmaking.
After this journey, we have decided to take a new step: to create an event that contributes to consolidating and strengthening the free and voluntary participation of printmakers from around the world who have chosen printmaking as their means of artistic expression.
The I Bienal Internacional de Grabado “Amigos de La Huella” – Colombia 2027 thus emerges as a space to reaffirm that traditional printmaking techniques remain fully relevant and possess an extraordinary capacity for dialogue with contemporary artistic creation. Without entering into discussions about new techniques, processes of transformation, or the evolution of printmaking, this Biennial seeks, above all, to join efforts so that printmaking continues to occupy a significant place within the circuits and venues of contemporary art.
We want this Biennial to be, above all, a meeting point between artists, generations, techniques, and cultures; a space to share, discover, engage in dialogue, and, especially, to continue learning from those who keep their passion for printmaking alive.
We hope to be able to share your work and continue learning together.

WHO WE ARE
The Taller de Gráfica La Huella is a Colombian graphic arts project dedicated to the research, practice, teaching, and dissemination of traditional printmaking techniques, promoting their knowledge, preservation, and ongoing dialogue with contemporary artistic manifestations.
Our work focuses on reconnecting with traditional graphic techniques, including intaglio, screen printing, woodcut, and lithography, understood not merely as reproduction procedures, but as authentic means of artistic expression and visual languages capable of generating relevant proposals within contemporary artistic creation.
Likewise, at La Huella, we recognize drawing as one of the essential foundations of every artistic process. We understand it as a tool for thought, exploration, and visual construction that makes it possible to develop and consolidate different artistic proposals and visual languages.
Throughout its history, the Taller has developed and promoted workshops, courses, lectures, exhibitions, meetings, competitions, and projects at the local, national, and international levels, creating spaces for education, exchange, and circulation for artists, students, teachers, researchers, and lovers of printmaking.
From Colombia, La Huella works to keep the tradition of printmaking alive, strengthen its practice, and contribute to ensuring that graphic art continues to occupy a fundamental place within contemporary art.
