Planning and conceptual help was requested in Colombia, a country with similar social problems, contradictions and cultural management experience. VK project has performed four venues to 2015 and keeps its continuity in spite of the fact contemporary arts have a small place into the Indian cultural policies which serve more traditional expressions than new local expressions.
