Forbidden Art: Should art challenge the cultural norms?

Embark on a cultural odyssey at the Forbidden Cultural Center in Cuenca, Ecuador! Conceived in February 1996 by artist Eduardo Moscoso, this dynamic venue challenges norms by spotlighting alternative artistic expressions, including themes deemed controversial like sexuality, death, and religion. Initially met with skepticism and vandalism, the center has evolved into a celebration of diverse cultures and forbidden narratives.

As a museum, it proudly displays Eduardo Moscoso's works alongside those of his children and fellow artists, creating a kaleidoscope of perspectives. Venture beyond the conventional as the center, since 2016, has become a global hub for collaboration, welcoming national and international artists exploring various cultural realms such as Performing Arts, Visual Arts, Musical Arts, and Audiovisuals.

Journey into the Forbidden Cultural Center, where cultural exploration knows no bounds, and forbidden stories find a voice.
