Colombia Fantastica brings together an illustrated selection of new stories living somewhere between chaos and humor. Curated and illustrated by Colombian artist, Johnathan Barragán López, these pages serve as a small window into the improbable, the unprecedented, and the deeply particular nature of everyday life in Colombia; offering a flimpse into why his country seems to exist permanently between magical realism and breaking news.
