The theme of the 24th edition is "Re:generative," a concept that relates to the sustainability of living species.
In a context of profound changes and transformations, the regenerative emerges as an alternative to restore, renew, or rebuild lost or invisible memories.
From the perspective of sustainability, it implies thinking about actions that ensure survival as a vital matter for its re-existence.

International Image Festival
The International Image Festival is a gathering of digital culture and electronic arts that emerges in response to the need to disseminate and appropriate advances in the fields of creation and research with digital technologies. This event becomes a strategy for audience development by opening spaces for transformation through the creation and use of new technologies in diverse contexts with associated social, environmental, and cultural issues.
Over its twenty-three editions, the Festival has established an international network of institutions, researchers, and creators who exchange experiences and knowledge annually, positioning itself as a significant event of global importance and an academic reference point in design, art, science, and technology. The International Image Festival invites researchers and creators to reflect on the present and future, proposing actions to ensure the sustainability of environments and communities. It encourages exploring interdisciplinary relationships among science, design, art, and technology, while promoting discussions on how digital transformations will shape societies in the years ahead.
Since 1997, the Department of Visual Design at the Universidad de Caldas has organized the Festival, which has been held in collaboration with the Universidad de Bogotá Jorge Tadeo Lozano in Colombia since 2020. For 2025, the 24th International Image Festival is scheduled to take place from May 2nd to 9th in the cities of Manizales and Bogotá, featuring the central theme "Re:generative" in partnership with the International Conference on the Histories of Media Art, Science, and Technology as a guest event.
