Overview
- The XIV Bienal de Arte Sacro Contemporáneo opened at the Museo Nacional de Arte Decorativo and remains on view through May 3 with free entry.
- From about 1,250 proposals spanning several countries, jurors selected 79 works, and curator María Pimentel de Lanusse structured the show into five themes: umbral, dolor, rito, devoción and revelación.
- The top prize was awarded to correntinian artist Blas Aparecido, with further honors to Ignacio Cassas, Ramiro Pasch and Leonardo Cavalcante, plus special mentions for Gaba de Dios and Marcolina Di Pierro.
- Reports from the opening noted packed galleries and a record-level submission pool roughly double the previous edition.
- The first Bienal de Historieta of the century opened at the Casa de la Cultura with free admission through Sunday, featuring José Muñoz as padrino via video, international guests, augmented‑reality experiences, risograph activations and professional rounds.
