Speakers 

Fernando Bryce (b. Peru) lives and works in Lima. He studied at the École des Beaux Arts in Paris in the late 1980s and lived for more than twenty years in Berlin, Germany. He received the scholarship from the German Academy in Rome-Villa Massimo in 2009. 

He has participated in numerous international exhibitions such as the São Paulo Biennial, the Venice Biennial, the Istanbul Biennial, the Berlin Biennial, the Lyon Biennial, and the Carnegie International in Pittsburgh. Of his individual exhibitions, those at the Kunsthalle Bremen, the Antoni Tàpies Foundation in Barcelona,​​the MALI (Lima Art Museum), the MUAC (University Museum of Contemporary Art in Mexico) and the MALBA (Museum of Latin American Art in Buenos Aires) stand out. 

His work is in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Tate Modern in London, the Harvard University Museum in Cambridge, the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid, among other public and private collections in the United States, Europe, Latin America and Asia. 

Priscilla Monge (b. Costa Rica) is a conceptual artist that sets standards in the development of conceptualism throughout Central America. Her work began to be disseminated in the 90's at fairs and biennials such as Valparaíso and Cuenca, until she made the leap to the Venice Biennial, Sao Paulo Biennial, Pontevedra Biennial, Havana Biennial, Liverpool Biennial and EVA Biennial in Ireland. Monge has been showcased in curatorial milestones such as Versiones del Sur/ Pervirtiendo el Minimalismo in Museo Reina Sofia, The Real Royal Trip at MOMA PS1, and Global Feminism at the Brooklyn Museum. She is the second non-Mexican artist to have an individual exhibition at the Museo Rufino Tamayo. 

Priscilla Monge attracted the attention of specialists who have written about her for Art in America (USA), Lapiz Magazine (Spain), Polyester (Mexico), Frame (Austria), Bomb (NYC) among other publications, in addition to covers in Art Nexus and Atlántica. The list of authors comprises Gerardo Mosquera, Harald Szeeman, José Roca, Hans Herzog, and Cuahtemoc Medina. 

Her work has been selected in publications for Fresh Cream, Politicas de la diferencia, Image-Word, and 100 Latin American Artists. Some of the public collections that encompass her work are Tate Gallery London, Museo Reina Sofia, Museum of Fine Arts Taipei, and Centro de Arte Contemporaneo de Sevilla.
