Pinta Sud | ASU organized the third edition of Art Week in Asunción, Paraguay, from August 5 to 11, 2024, with contemporary art and cultural activations throughout the city in collaboration with public and private agents. This program invited participants to discover the uniqueness of Asunción’s art scene and to delve into its invigorating cultural offerings.
Since 2022, the Pinta Sud initiative brings cultural programs in cities across Latin America to celebrate their growing artistic scenes. Its mission is to strengthen cultural networks between the international art world and the local scene, resulting in economic and educational opportunities for Latin American art.
This edition of Pinta Sud | ASU brought together curators and key figures from the local and international art scene. The curators responsible for various exhibition proposals were Ticio Escobar, Lia Colombino, Fredi Casco, Alban Martínez Gueyraud, Gustavo Riego, Damián Cabrera, Bettina Brizuela, Javier Medina Verdolini, Thiago Sant'Ana, Fernando Moure, and Félix Toranzos.

The 2024 Pinta Sud ASU colloquium aimed to present a kind of "state of the art" of curatorial practice in Latin America (or connected to the region) through conversations with prominent curators from the international art scene, who discussed various aspects of their work in both institutions and specific projects.
A partnership was sealed between the Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean and Pinta Sud | ASU with the signing of a valuable commitment to cooperation and culture between Jorge Srur (Representative in Paraguay and Southern Regional Manager) and Diego Costa Peuser (Global Director of Pinta)
Pinta Sud | ASU concludes its programming with a Ceramics Workshop led by popular artist Julia Isidrez in Itá.
