SEGMENT/TRACE. 500 METERS OF—ABUNDANCE AND RESISTANCE—

Fabio Melecio Palacios Prado (Colombia)

To think about the movements a person makes is to understand that there is a countless number of traces and prints in space. While trains have not run through the railway in the area of Zaragoza, jurisdiction of Buenaventura, for a long time, the road is alive thanks to the use that its inhabitants have given it with the use of "brujitas", wooden carts they use as means of transport. This is a kind of reactivation and reconstruction, because it contains a memory that needs to be told. The idea is to enhance and give visibility to this 500-meter stretch and reflect on how the inhabitants of the area reactivate this transit artery in a subversive manner.

Wednesday, August 8 - 10 a.m.
Segment of the Pacific Railway, Buenaventura.

LIVE RADIO: WE ARE WATER IN THE WATER

Noís Radio and Miguel Tejada in collaboration with Francia Márquez, "El Teacher", Bagual Project, Cynthia Montaño, Vicenta Moreno, and Emilia Valencia (Colombia)

The radio show set by Noís Radio collective, which is accompanied by a group of activists, artists, and musicians, will submerge the audience into the waters of a river leading to the port of Buenaventura in the Pacific Ocean. In this radio show, storytelling is mixed with loud reading and the sound landscape is combined with the projection of images, performance, and live music. This work seeks to recreate a dreamlike and surreal scenario that will re-emphasize symbiosis, anecdotal, and testimonial elements about a territory in dispute, the Colombian Pacific. Other collaborators in this action include Francia Márquez, an activist who won the Goldman Prize, which is considered as the Nobel Prize of the environment, and “El Teacher”, an urban musician from Buenaventura, among others.

Wednesday, August 8 - 2:30 p.m.
Centro Cultural Banco de la República, Buenaventura.

Sunday, August 12 - 6:30 p.m.
Instituto Departamental de Bellas Artes, Beethoven hall, Cali.

Bajamar

Carlos Martiel (Cuba)

The Colombian Pacific Coast is a territory that has long suffered from chronic marginalization and exclusion. Today, in the port of Buenaventura and its surroundings, more than 17 megaprojects have been proposed, compromising 80 percent of the territory. This work reflects on the impact of the industrialization of the port of Buenaventura on the life, customs, and the ways of economic survival of a community in resistance.

Thursday, August 9 - 5 p.m.
La Tertulia Museum, Maritza Uribe de Urdinola room, Cali.

LIVE CINEMA

Mario Bellatin (Mexico)

This work is performed by high school students, who interpreted Beauty Salon, Mario Bellatin’s novel, after twenty years. Each of the functions presents a live narrative, which gives different senses to the images and background music created especially for the experience. This is a work done in a DIY style, and it enables the author to appreciate the rest of what his book has been. It was made following a series of rigorous rules, for example: all participants must be underage, scenes are limited to a 100-square-meter area, and the final edition must be prepared for the meaning of the story to change according to the challenge set out in the show.

Friday, August 10 - 8 p.m.
Cinemateca La Tertulia, Cali.

DANCE

Mario Bellatin (Mexico)

Every now and then, Mario Bellatin needs to see his own written work from a perspective that is different from that of the printed text. Hence his current interest in the third dimension, because it is capable of creating itself in present bodies. However, the ways of representation are coupled with certain codes, which somehow standardize that language. His goal then is to seek in the rest, in the discarded parts of the movement, in the photographic records of instants, the option of creating pieces outside the stage, possibly at an editing table.

Saturday, August 11 - 5 p.m.
Instituto Departamental de Bellas Artes, room 108, Cali.

TERRITORIES IN MOURNING

Mauricio Prieto (Colombia)

In the Colombian Pacific, the dead are sung to, cried to, and mourned. Here, mortuary songs come from a Catholic tradition, responsorial litanies that are accompanied by several voices, cadences, and tones. Those who do not sing play dominoes, help to cook, and share traditional drinks, cigarettes, stories; they talk about the things that affect the community. The wake is useful to share and express what hurts the 'owner of the dead,' the dead's friends, and the community the dead lived in, and he is sung to so that he can be on the right path on his way to the afterlife. During the wake, aesthetics that have adapted to the socio-political situation of the region make their appearance. This action aims to generate a meeting in space-time where Cali can think of its dead. This is an act of collective mourning that seeks to oppose oblivion.

Sunday, August 12 - 10 a.m. - 9 p.m.
La Tertulia Museum, Cali.
