Founded in 1996 as Instituto Universitario Nacional del Arte (IUNA), the National University of the Arts (UNA) is the first institution of higher education in Latin America devoted to arts training, research, extension programs, and creation. With its undergraduate and graduate courses, its research and extension projects, and its artistic productions, the UNA is intended as a space of convergence for reflection and action inherent to contemporary art.
In the light of the foregoing, the UNA actively participates of this Biennial within the framework of a policy of promotion and development of the university system, and of a process that seeks to change the concept of arts education within the Argentine system.
