The Memory of the River is a temporary infrastructure project that combines public art and ephemeral architecture to reactivate urban spaces in Bogotá through cultural uses. The project is led by the Secretariat of Culture, Recreation and Sports (SCRD) with Secretary Santiago Trujillo, Director Diego Parra, and the Subdirectorate of Infrastructure and Cultural Heritage under Edgar Figueroa, supported by a multidisciplinary team.
