About two years ago, we witnessed the meeting of two forces in Colombia’s Putumayo. Two logics and ways of being-thinking-crafting earth: stubborn human-made landscapes and resilient nature. This year, the former has gained a few inches. The construction of this stubborn road (the Mocoa-Pasto Variante across the Amazon foothills) has resumed. In the big picture this is momentarily and unilateral progress as we, the people of the world, are only temporary occupants of this earth vessel. 🌎🍃Memories from a research trip with with @ayenan2021 @lydiazimmermann and @nambi_rimai_comunicacion #earthday2022 #nownessearthday #artisticresearch #ayënan #putumayo

Felipe Castelblanco’s piece for Common Grounds was the art of co-creation. Over his 3 week residency, the Colombian artist worked with a group of 10 diverse stakeholders - some migrants, some community leaders, and some public officials who work in Medellín’s Department of Security. Co-led by music artist and rapper @traficomc, the group co-wrote and performed a song on their differing views of security in Medellín. The song was performed live on the exhibit’s opening day, and you can watch the music video in the exhibition hall. Common Grounds is a project curated by @matzaproduction.

La obra desarrollada por @felipecastel para Common Grounds consistió en una pieza de co-creación con actores sociales de la ciudad de Medelllín. Durante su residencia de 3 semanas, el artista colombiano trabajó con un grupo de 10 personas con intereses y proveniensias diversas: algunos migrantes, otros líderes comunitarios y algunos otros funcionarios públicos que trabajan en el Departamento de Seguridad de Medellín. Co-construyendo con el artista y rapero @traficomc, el grupo co-escribió e interpretó una canción que aborda sus diferentes puntos de vista sobre la seguridad en Medellín. Aunque la canción se interpretó en vivo el día de la inauguración de la exhibición, puedes ver el video en la sala de exhibición. Terrenos Comunes es un proyecto curado por @matzaproduction.

El Taita Paulino Mojomboy 🖤, un líder, maestro

El Taita Paulino Mojomboy 🖤, un líder, maestro y médico tradicional del pueblo Inga de Colombia nos ha dejado. Gran pérdida y gran legado. En 2019 y junto a @camilopachon apoyamos a @nambi_rimai_comunicacion para crear un documental dedicado al Taita. Hoy ya no es solo un documental sino una cápsula del tiempo. Es el retrato de un líder y su visión de un mundo donde el derecho de los pueblos originarios a sus saberes y formas de ver/pensar el mundo se restituyan. Buen viaje Taita... 🐆 .

Last week we opened History’s Footnote: on Love and Freedom. Composed by the South-African curator Khanyisile Mbongwa, this group exhibition connects the stories of film makers, visual artists, singers and poets about decolonization, lost languages, collective protest, and forgotten history. A central theme in the exhibition is the quest for love and freedom to which history serves as a footnote. A beautiful exhibition that offers insight into the grief that comes with dispossession and the spirituality that, threatened by the same, also provides the only possible cure for all of us.

There are rituals in every culture, gods and goddesses, special animals and totems. We are connecting our local traditions of celebrating the arrival of summer to get rid of the ghosts of winter, dark and negative energies and putting them into context with other international and indigenous rituals dealt with by artists in their works.⁠

This photo sums up what is happening in Colombia today. Parastatal forces are murdering young protestors, right in front of on duty Police officers. Enough is enough. We need urgent verification and support from the international community and international condemnation.
