Una Arteria del Imperio

Diverse contrasts and meeting points between history and science allow to reconstruct and understand the American social and economic realities in the early days of colonization, from a perspective never before revealed. For 5 years, a large research and production team moved between Panama, Spain, Colombia, Perú, Germany and Italy, linking the pieces that document the most important transformations of the modern era that took place, in a dramatic and precocious way, in the isthmus of Panama from the 16th century onwards. The discovery of the first cathedral built in the American Pacific, thousands of never-before-revealed folios and genetic and paleobotanical studies made during the first generations of contact, all tell us how American, African and European protagonists forged new and much more inclusive relationships with the emergence of a new society.
