The ethnic diversity of the cultures of Latin America offers a wealth of topics. Myths, rites and magical practices of peasant and urban origin, mythical thinking in the everyday life of the population, and the combination of sacred and profane are expressed in colors, proportions and rhythms, which were adopted by the artists and converted into an aesthetic language. The civil cultures of Latin America, rooted in pre-capitalist worlds, possess the magic that North Americans and Europeans seek, since these were largely lost.

With the presence of the shamans Kazike Taita Querubín Queta, chief of the Cofan inhabitants of Amazonia, Taita Diomedez Díaz and Sebastián Jansasoy, first chairman of the ZIO-A'I (source of the wisdom) foundation at the Vernissage, the meaning of the exhibition was highlighted the shamans are the root and the pillars of our original cultures.
