Website, video and outreach pieces for La ciudad que fuimos, a research project on everyday life in mid-20th-century Bogotá through the archive of photojournalist Daniel Rodríguez (Fusagasugá, 1914), published in Cromos, Semana, El Tiempo and El Espectador.

Images from the Daniel Rodríguez Collection were presented as panels with their historical context: a city leaving its colonial layout behind, the shift from tram to buses, markets, celebrations and its people. The site launched in December 2020.
