The second edition of Atizay's Encuentro Afrocostarricense de Artes Visuales (EAAV), themed "BLACK Resiliency: Coping with a Global Emergency as a BLACK Artist," was a virtual gathering that emphasized the strength and adaptability of the Black community amidst global challenges. Held from October 30 to November 1, 2020, the event featured ten visual artists and over twenty performers from around the world. Through panel discussions, workshops, and a virtual art exhibit, the EAAV created a vibrant platform for Black artists to connect, share experiences, and showcase their creativity and resilience during these unprecedented times.

On October 29th, 2019, Atizay's I Encuentro Afrocostarricense de Artes Visuales (First Afro-Costa Rican Visual Arts Gathering), EAAV I, at the Museo Del Jade in Costa Rica highlighted the underrepresentation of Afro-Costa Rican artists and celebrated their significant contributions to the arts. This gathering initiated an essential dialogue about inclusion in the arts, emphasizing community responsibility to advocate for acknowledgment in cultural spaces.
