ABOUT THE ARTWORK
A flag is, in principle, a cloth sewn and/or painted in colors that usually represent a human group. This cloth generally designates a rectangle that can be treated as a painting. However, the formality of the flag is affected by the history, culture, economy, and human facts that are cultivated around the colors and allegorical shapes that the rectangle contains in its interior. The artwork's hypothesis revolves around the indeterminacy of the flag as a symbol of collective identity in a standardized world. It aims to reveal how altering a flag through political acts, driven by the pursuit of unique representations, becomes a figuratively sterile event overshadowed by globalization. Actions such as creating, intervening, violating, writing, or painting a flag serve as identity experiments for urban citizens. These experiments contribute to forming generic ways of inhabiting the planet, yet they also lead to a less egalitarian society.

Bogotá, Colombia (+57) 3108846658 My name is Santiago Castro Pulido. I was born on February 19, 1987 in Nemocón, Cundinamarca, Colombia. I have had a university degree in fine arts since 2013 from the Universidad de los Andes, Bogotá - Colombia. Additionally, in September 2023, I completed the studies leading to the official university Master's Degree in Artistic Production with a Specialization in Public Art from The Universitat Politecnica de Valencia, Valencia - Spain. Since I was 14 years old I have written graffiti and executed art projects in the public space under the pseudonyms Cazdos and Wordbta in the streets of Bogotá and other cities around the world. In my study art work I have specialized in weaving the urban history area with the plastic arts. I focus my work in develop the tensions of city throught the performance and street walk like an aesthetic form of knowledge, in this way graffiti action is for me an a prosthesis that give me tools to explore the public space in multiple sence. And the other hand, i am interested in the Landscape like theme and motive in a lot of studio works, where I work in painting, fine art drawing, and in-situ instalations. My works and mural pieces can be seen in Bogotá, Cartagena, Santiago de Cali, Medellín, Cúcuta; and in cities of the world like Seoul (South Korea), Istanbul (Turkey), Ankara (Turkey), Lisbon (Portugal), Amman (Jordan), Ottawa (Canada), Antwerp (Belgium), Miami (United States), Lima (Peru), Buenos Aires ( Argentina), Madrid (Spain), Lyon, Toulouse, Paris (France), and Berlin (Germany).
