En el programa de hoy Reinaldo (@RGZprints) estará revisitando una conversación con Favian Villa desde el taller La linterna en Cali, Colombia. La Linterna (@lalinternacali) es un taller de impresión tipográfica dedicado a la impresión de carteles artesanales desde 1934. Luego de sufrir una fuerte crisis económica, lo que supuso un inminente cierre del taller, esta institución renace gracias a una pareja de gestores culturales elevando el taller a un nuevo estatus de institución histórica y de destino cultural de reconocimiento internacional. Los maestros Jaime Enrique Garcia, Hector Otalvaro y Olmedo Franco Romero son parte de la generación que niega la muerte de este espacio y brinda una nueva integración con la transmisión de conocimiento para que la luz de la “linterna” nunca cese de brillarTaller La linterna Website:https://lalinternacali.com/nosotros-2/Documental:YOUTUBEwww.youtube.com/channel/UCOMIT3guY5PjHj1M7GApouwMERCHwww.teepublic.com/user/helloprintfriendWEBSITEwww.helloprintfriend.cominstagramwww.instagram.com/helloprintfriendprint galleryhelloprintfriend.com/print-gallery✨patreon✨www.patreon.com/helloprintfriendOur sponsor Speedballwww.speedballart.com
