The IV International Biennial of Photography, whose theme was “Women in the 21st century”, gathered the attention of the national and international artistic community, as stated by its founding president, Lawyer Álvaro Noboa:
“The Luis Noboa Naranjo Museum, of which I am the founding president, has actively collaborated since its creation to promote the country’s culture worldwide and bring foreign influences to inspire our country. With this idea, more than 200 exhibitions and events were held. For 16 years we have been organizing events such as the Guayaquil International Biennial, with 6 paintings, 4 photographs, 1 sculpture and 1 poetry.
Today, we have the pride and honor of fulfilling one more goal in favor of art, culture and education in Ecuador and the entire world, with the inauguration of the IV Biennial of Photography.”
