The project was organized by the Universitad Externado and the Museo de Arte Moderna de Bogotá (MAMBO). The theory classes were open to a group of about 50 among students and mid-career professionals, while the practical workshop was restricted to 12 selected participants (50% master students in their 5th year).

The goal was that of treating one of the three paintings by Luis Caballero composing the triptych “Pintura Anecdótica”. After the completion of the workshop, the participants to the practical sessions were able to treat the other two, using the experience and the materials provided.
