Latino System — Tue, 10 Dec 2024 19:08:38 +0000

In a vivid display of the entrepreneurial spirit and creative power of Latino artists, Puerto Rican talent Bernardo Medina, better known as BeMe, joined forces with Rums of Puerto Rico to present RUM is FUN at Pinta Miami. This immersive exhibition underscored the profound role Latinos play in shaping the global art landscape while celebrating Puerto Rican culture through a bold fusion of art and gastronomy.

Held on December 7, 2024, at The Hangar in Coconut Grove, BeMe’s colorful and dynamic works turned The Garden at Pinta Miami into a sensory wonderland. More than an artistic statement, RUM is FUN showcased the entrepreneurial ingenuity of Latino artists, weaving together the legacy of Puerto Rican rum with the visual narrative of BeMe’s signature aesthetic.

Latino artists like BeMe are redefining the art world by merging cultural heritage with modern innovation. BeMe’s multidisciplinary approach, which spans experimental sculpture, acrylics, and mixed media, exemplifies how artists from Latin America not only create but also elevate their cultural narratives to global audiences. Through his project, RUM is FUN, BeMe celebrates Puerto Rican identity while carving out new avenues for artistic entrepreneurship.

This entrepreneurial flair isn’t limited to the artwork itself. BeMe’s ability to bridge industries—art and gastronomy in this case—highlights the adaptability and vision of Latino creatives. His recipe book and exhibition don’t just showcase art; they invite audiences into an immersive experience of Puerto Rican culture, appealing to collectors, tastemakers, and fans alike.

Pinta Miami has long been a beacon for Ibero-American art, providing a global platform for Latino creators to share their stories and innovations. In the competitive and vibrant scene of Miami Art Week, Pinta Miami stands out as a space where heritage and modernity converge. BeMe’s exhibition within this prestigious fair reaffirmed the centrality of Latino voices in contemporary art while spotlighting their business acumen.

The collaboration between Rums of Puerto Rico and BeMe at Pinta Miami also demonstrated the strength of public-private partnerships in promoting cultural heritage. Initiatives like these not only celebrate art but also position it as a vehicle for economic growth, tourism, and international dialogue.

Latino System — Fri, 18 Oct 2024 19:48:32 +0000

Expoartesano en Miami y busca consolidarse como una gran oportunidad de internacionalización para los artesanos colombianos.

Del 18 al 20 de octubre se realizará en el Doral Cultural Arts Center la segunda edición de Expoartesano Miami.
Luego de una exitosa primera edición en 2023, la feria estrena locación buscando consolidarse como la principal oportunidad de internacionalización de los artesanos colombianos y sus comunidades.
La feria tendrá un espacio enfocado en empresarios que quieran hacer negociaciones de gran alcance, pensados en distribución y decoración de espacios como hoteles y restaurantes.

Septiembre de 2024. Tras una exitosa primera edición en 2023, Expoartesano regresa a Miami, buscando consolidarse como la principal vitrina comercial internacional para las comunidades artesanales de Colombia. Artesanos de los 32 departamentos del país tendrán la posibilidad de exhibir y comercializar sus productos y abrir oportunidades en uno de los mercados con mayor proyección para este sector en el exterior. La cita será del 18 al 20 de octubre en el Doral Cultural Arts Center, que permitirá que la feria este año tenga un mayor alcance y dé cabida a más actividades y demostraciones para todos, y la participación de 4.000 visitantes.

A lo largo de este año, el equipo organizador ha buscado la forma de maximizar los esfuerzos para que la mayor cantidad de comunidades artesanales tengan un espacio en la feria, garantizando los aspectos logísticos para que este escenario signifique oportunidades de crecimiento para todos.

“Con la segunda versión de Expoartesano Miami, nuestro objetivo es dar visibilidad a la labor de nuestros diferentes artesanos. Son artesanías de los 32 departamentos de Colombia que estarán representados por diferentes artesanos, que tendrán la oportunidad de vender y comercializar a comunidades internacionales y también colombianos residentes en el sur de la Florida, quienes tendrán la oportunidad de conectarse nuevamente con nuestras culturas y nuestras raíces. Tras el éxito de nuestra primera versión que demuestra que nuestras artesanías son valoradas a nivel internacional, Expoartesano Miami en su segunda edición, será muchísimo más grande y estará abierta para mayor público” expresó Ricardo Galindo, Gerente General de Plaza Mayor Medellín.

Será un ambiente pensado para los visitantes que encontrarán un showroom especializado con artesanías provenientes de Colombia, demostraciones de oficio, variada oferta gastronómica y diferentes espacios para interactuar con los artesanos y sus tradiciones, siendo el lugar perfecto para conectar y descubrir las raíces de la cultura colombiana.

Una vitrina para los negocios a gran escala

Según cifras de ProColombia sobre las exportaciones de artesanías, entre enero y julio de 2024, registraron un crecimiento del 34% frente al mismo periodo de 2023, llegando a USD 4,32 millones. Esto sumado a un crecimiento constante en los últimos años, reafirma las oportunidades que tienen las comunidades artesanales de comercializar sus creaciones en el exterior, especialmente en mercados potenciales y priorizados como EEUU. Por esta razón, esta edición de la feria priorizará algunos espacios y actividades enfocadas en la generación de negocios a gran escala, con quienes se tendrán recorridos exclusivos, rueda de negocios abierta a empresas que quieran asistir y experiencias personalizadas que permitan el máximo conocimiento del producto, las comunidades y las posibilidades comerciales. Esto gracias al apoyo de ProColombia y la Cámara de Comercio Colombo Americana en Miami, así como otros aliados estratégicos que estarán acompañando estas actividades.

“Desde ProColombia, nuestro propósito es seguir conectando a nuestros artesanos con los mercados internacionales, llevando al mundo las tradiciones y la riqueza cultural que hacen de Colombia El País de la Belleza. Hoy celebramos con orgullo el regreso de Expoartesano a Miami en su segunda edición, con grandes expectativas para este año. Apostar por traer los oficios y productos artesanales a un mercado estratégico como Estados Unidos es clave para conectar nuestra oferta con la demanda de compradores norteamericanos y para promover el desarrollo y el crecimiento de las comunidades artesanales y nuestros territorios”, dijo María Camila Castellanos, directora ejecutiva en Estados Unidos de ProColombia —la agencia de promoción del país, parte del Ministerio de Comercio, Industria y Turismo—.

Un espacio para disfrutar y acercarse a las raíces

Esta edición de la feria contará con diferentes experiencias pensadas para que el público visitante pueda conectarse con las raíces colombianas, conocer los oficios artesanales y deleitarse con las principales muestras de nuestra cultura.

Así mismo, tendrán la posibilidad de comprar artesanías directamente a los artesanos invitados, conocer sus historias e interactuar con ellos, visitar el showroom con representación de oficios de los 32 departamentos del país, disfrutar de la muestra gastronómica tradicional colombiana y hacer parte de la rueda de saberes, espacio en el que se realizarán demostraciones de los diferentes oficios artesanales presentes en la feria.

“Está será la oportunidad perfecta para que todos los visitantes a la feria, conozcan los oficios y creaciones de artesanos de los 32 departamentos de Colombia, conociendo de cerca el proceso de transformación de la materia prima en artesanías de gran valor cultural, siendo Colombia el único país de América Latina con 12 denominaciones de orígen en productos artesanales, que podrán encontrar en esta edición de Expoartesano Miami. Un espacio que además le apuesta al desarrollo de las comunidades de artesanos y artesanas del país. Manifestó Adriana Mejía, Gerente de Artesanías de Colombia B.I.C.

Aliados estratégicos que hacen posible este espacio

Esta segunda edición de Expoartesano Miami es posible gracias al trabajo articulado entre Artesanías de Colombia B.I.C y Plaza Mayor Medellín y con el apoyo de ProColombia, Consulado General de Colombia en Miami, Cámara de Comercio Colombo Americana en Miami, el Distrito de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación de Medellín, Ecopetrol, Gobernación la Ciudad de Doral, y la Ciudad de Doral, entre otros; la apuesta de la Alcaldía de Medellín, como promotor de la internacionalización de los oficios artesanales no sólo de la ciudad, sino de todo el país, es apoyar la realización de este evento que significa una nueva oportunidad de desarrollo para los artesanos de la región. .

Colombiamoda Arrives at Miami Swim Week

Latino System — Mon, 20 May 2024 14:43:00 +0000

We want to tell the world about our capabilities and what WE ARE for the global fashion industry, highlighting the talent of our designers and their clothing proposals with a Colombian author’s seal.”

Sebastián Díez, Executive President of Inexmoda.

Exalting the Capabilities of the Colombian Fashion System

Colombiamoda, Colombia’s Fashion Week, arrives in the United States to exalt the capabilities of the Colombian Fashion System and the differentiated value proposition of its brands. Inexmoda, under its internationalization strategy and in partnership with PARAISO, will participate in PARAISO Miami Swim Week 2024, dazzling with Colombian talent and author’s seal, facilitating the opening of new commercial opportunities for both countries.

Under the leadership of Inexmoda, Colombiamoda positions itself as a globally relevant event by bringing its characteristic charm to Miami. This “Opening” of what Colombiamoda will be in the United States not only celebrates Colombian fashion but also strengthens ties between Colombia and the United States, featuring the creativity and innovation that characterize the Colombian fashion system.

A highlighted aspect of this initiative is the welcoming of nine Colombian brands that have participated in transformation projects, which, apart from being present at the May 31 “Opening,” will also exhibit their products at Wanitta, a fashion trending boutique store in Wynwood. After the fair’s launch in the United States, this corner of Colombian talent will be open to the public for two months, offering an exceptional showcase of the design and quality that distinguish Colombian brands. The brands included in this outstanding selection are: Be Surreal, Piel Canela, Champlevé, Acquerello, Coco Blanco, Bless, Zelma, Rosa Pistacho, and Wanitta.

With the arrival of Colombiamoda in Miami, we reaffirm the importance of the internationalization of Colombian brands and the conquest of new markets

Sebastián Díez, Executive President of Inexmoda.

For this edition of the fair, we want to tell the world about our capabilities and what WE ARE for the global fashion industry, highlighting the talent of our designers and their clothing proposals with a Colombian author’s seal. Both Medellín – the host city of Colombiamoda – and Miami are, today, creative districts and epicenters of fashion, art, and culture in the American continent,” comments Sebastián Díez, Executive President of Inexmoda.

This strategic move becomes even more relevant considering the potential of the US market in the fashion industry. With sales exceeding $418 billion, the United States represents approximately 23% of the global fashion market. Furthermore, the penetration of e-commerce in this country, which reaches around 40% of total clothing and footwear sales, offers significant opportunities for brands seeking international expansion.

“Our aim is to highlight areas where fashion finds its creative inspiration and forms of experimentation. Colombia is becoming one of the most interesting and rapidly growing places for swimwear and resort wear fashion and creativity today. To open the doors for these brands to enter the US market, we decided to start a special collaboration with Inexmoda – Colombiamoda within the global platform of PARAISO Miami Swim Week.” – Natalija Dedic Stojanovic, Co-founder and Creative Director of PARAISO Miami Swim Week.
