Didiller Angulo, nine, on the basketball court in Potrero Grande. People have only moved to Potrero Grande for about 10 years but the neighborhood is considered one of the most troubled in the country. Extreme poverty, unemployment and lack of opportunities have propelled the area into a downward spiral of widespread drug abuse, deadly violence and deeply rooted social problems. 2018

Could you talk about kites? I think they're really cool :)

Kites:

Kites are birds of prey in 3 different subfamilies of the order Accipitridae (where eagles, old world vultures, and hawks reside). There are many species around the world.

. Él se confío al ver el amor tan profundo que ella le brindó durante tanto tiempo, del amor que ella irradiaba como brillo de diamante estando a su lado. No imaginó verse un día en la soledad, y como mariposa sin alas, verle partir para siempre, quedando muerto su corazón mientras estaba vivo. Él le vio marcharse después de haberle absorbido toda su luz, porque de lejos brillaba tanto, que resplandecía hasta su alma... Y ya la había perdido, solo así le vio. . . . . . . #poeta #frases #poesía #frases #artista #amor #mujer #vino #vinoyletras #vida #tiempo #autoestima #asíeslavida #editor #editorial #escritores #lectores #nochedepoesía #arte #sueños #mujervaliosa #arrepentido (en Santiago de Cali) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpTw8LKOUVM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Vice President Francia Elena Márquez Mina (December 1, 1981) is a Colombian human rights and environmental activist and lawyer, who is the 13th and current Vice President of Colombia. She was born in Yolombó, a village in the Cauca Department. She first became an activist at 13, when the construction of a dam threatened her community. She became the first Afro-Colombian vice president in the country’s history. She is the second woman to hold the post, after Marta Lucía Ramírez. In August 2020, she announced her candidacy in the 2022 Colombian presidential election and sought the nomination for the Historic Pact for Colombia coalition. She was chosen by the coalition’s nominee, Gustavo Petro, to be his running mate.

In 2018, she was awarded the Goldman Environmental Prize for her work to stop illegal gold mining in her community of La Toma and for her community organizing. She led a protest march of 80 women who trekked 350 miles to the capital city of Bogotá and demanded the removal of all illegal miners from their community. In 2019, the BBC listed her on their 100 Women list for that year.

Her parents are miners, although her mother is a farmer and midwife. She described her childhood as “marked by spending time at my maternal grandparents’ house, another time with my mother, and the rest with my paternal grandparents”. She is an agricultural technician graduate from the National Learning Service of Colombia. In 2020 she obtained a JD from the University of Santiago de Cali. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

Cali, más que una ciudad, es un refugio de vida y alegría. Entre aves, montañas y ritmo, representa un balance perfecto entre humanidad y naturaleza.

Oculto [La vergüenza de ser humano] Hidden [The shame of being human]

Audiovisual composition: Sebastian Wiedemann Music: Aidan Baker & Gareth Davis

8min Super8 to FullHD/Color/stereo

Country of production: Colombia/Peru Film commissioned by MUTA Festival internacional de apropiación audiovisual CC BY-NC-SA 2021-2023

Sinopsis: Los cuerpos celestes algo enuncian en medio a su misterio. La luna se hace roja, el planeta llora, la caída es más profunda de lo que podríamos imaginar. Oculto, algo al asecho. En el medio, un réquiem o quizás una elegía. Lo incierto como camino que nos lleva a una catástrofe que no sabemos si es pasada, presente o futura. Pero que sin duda es memoria profunda de un oscuro secreto. Los susurros rotos de una selva herida.

Synopsis: The celestial bodies enunciate something in the midst of their mystery. The moon turns red, the planet cries, the fall is deeper than we could imagine. Hidden, something lurks. In the middle, a requiem or perhaps an elegy. The uncertain as a path that leads us to a catastrophe that we do not know if it is past, present or future. But which is undoubtedly a deep memory of a dark secret. The broken whispers of a wounded jungle.

Critics:

“En Oculto Sebastian Wiedemann articula la catástrofe del mundo en la forma de una jungla herida. (…)Así, las imágenes que Wiedemann remonta, se desprenden de las intenciones “documentales” de sus creadores, para abrazar una nueva significación, relacionada con una crítica estético-política del Antropoceno y la catástrofe ambiental que azota al mundo. De ahí la urgencia de escuchar los susurros de la selva herida. ” Mariana Martínez Bonilla (Octubre 2023)

“A shamanic audiovisual trance, which expressed nature’s suffering with great evocation. The work offered a direct criticism of environmental destruction caused by imperialist exploitation, effectively communicated by transforming archive footage manipulating the strips of film, accompanied by radical sound experimentation. An agitational piece, following in the footsteps of the great Santiago Álvarez and more recently the Mexican collective Los Ingrávidos. The resulting product challenges the audience to engage with the political context, through a metamorphosis of sound and visual montage. An astounding accomplishment of experimental cinema!” Elena (December 2023) _________________________________
