Visual Artist
An artist-led cultural platform building visibility, exchange, and infrastructure for Venezuelan art across New York, Venezuela, and the diaspora.
Join us in creating the conditions artists need to collaborate autonomously across geographies.
What We Do
EL CONSULADO provides the framework for artists, communities, and cultural actors to connect, cooperate, and develop new possibilities together without placing the institution at the center of artistic practice.
Artistic Programming
Exhibitions, installations, performances, and collaborative projects.
Circulation & Dialogue
Conversations, exchanges, and networks that move artists and ideas across geographies.
Memory & Publishing
Publications, editions, archives, and forms of cultural memory built to circulate.
KIOSKO
KIOSKO is EL CONSULADO's flagship traveling platform: a distributed framework that brings autonomous Venezuelan and diasporic practices into relation through exhibitions, conversations, workshops, publications, and public activations. Rather than presenting a single image of Venezuelan art, it creates new routes of circulation, exchange, and collaboration across geographies.
In December 2025, KIOSKO was presented at NADA Miami, bringing together more than 40 Venezuelan artists within one of the most visible contemporary art contexts in the United States.
Rather than presenting a single definition of Venezuelan art, KIOSKO brings autonomous practices into relation. Artists working across different geographies, generations, and disciplines enter a shared framework that allows new connections, conversations, and forms of circulation to emerge without dissolving their individual positions.

EL CONSULADO in Dialogue with brave Projects
EL CONSULADO speaks with Kate Wong for brave Projects’ On Non-conformity series about diaspora, KIOSKO, alternative cultural infrastructures, and Venezuelan collective presence.
The Network
EL CONSULADO exists through relationships. Artists, curators, institutions, cultural organizations, producers, writers, and collaborators enter the network from different positions, contributing knowledge, resources, ideas, and new possibilities for collective action.
The network is not fixed. New relationships create new nodes, and those connections can lead to exhibitions, conversations, publications, collaborations, research, and projects that continue beyond EL CONSULADO itself.
