Ball del contrapàs in Tremp (High Pyrenees, Catalonia).

On the holiday of Sant Antoni Abat (January 17th), patron saint of farmers, Tremp has this tradition. A group of 6 to 12 local farmer men dance the ball del contrapàs in the town square, while a marching band plays the song.

The dance starts with one farmer placing an image of Saint Anthony and blessing it, and then he starts to dance. He dances alone in front of the saint's image for about a minute, until he takes off his hat and bows, and then he starts moving in circles in the square. Then, he takes a lit torch and delimits the space they will use in square. By pairs, the others join the dance, holding each other by the belt. The last one to join wears a tail made of paper, that the man who started the dance will burn towards the end. In the end, the man chosen in the previous year's holiday goes in front of the image and bows, thanking the saint for last year's harvest and asking that this year it will be as good or even better.

Nowadays, the dance is done 4 or 5 times. Each time that the farmers try to burn the paper tail but can't manage, they go to drink a little glass of wine, and they repeat until they manage to burn it. When they make it, the song changes and there's a round of applause. Then, every farmer bows in front of the saint individually, taking off their hats.

It also seems that nowadays they can use a firecracker instead of a paper tail.

The people from the town gather in the square to watch the dance. They share biscuits/cookies and wine for the duration of the dance.

Hi Producer (正好遇见你) Infodump Catalogue

So Yu Zheng is back with another entry in his "let me show you how much research I have done through a drama" saga, and this time he's gone a level beyond and is presenting us ALL the best costumes he had made for his different dynasty dramas, under the guise of "Producers making documentaries about intangible cultural heritage". He's getting increasingly creative (not) but hey, I appreciate a good recycling lol. Even if the drama is made mostly for the purpose of recycling the old costumes for one last time plus boasting.🥲

Sand Drawings of Vanuatu: A Unique Artistic Legacy

Here is the next in our series about art forms.  This time, we look at sand drawings as an art form. Previously, we looked at many other types of art forms, and you can begin your journey by reading about them here. This is an art form I was totally unaware of, and I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed my research to learn about it.  This is such an ancient type of art for the people living on…

Brokering the Border Wars - LAC limbo on barbed lines of demarcation as Venezuela-Guyana dispute heightens

A closer and deeper look at the tenuous political stability and peace in Latin America and the Caribbean and potential implications of the Guyana-Venezuela Territorial Dispute

CTS A — Week 12 - Compulsory question 3

A collaborative project I am highly interested in doing is a social media campaign together with the Diploma in Creative Direction for Fashion. It would be about advocating for proper pockets in women’s clothing. In our collaborative campaign, they would spearhead the creative direction for a photoshoot exploring women’s pockets, highlighting the way it is right now versus the way it should and could be. My role would be to produce the deliverables that could visually communicate the campaign’s message, such as posters, publications, and videos. It would hopefully be an eye-opener to the public and inspire concrete change in the fashion industry.

For my final project, I want to explore the misrepresentation of women in pop culture. Various stereotypical portrayals of women still persist today wherein they exist to be damsels-in-distress, domesticized, objectified, or used to advance a man’s self-development (Walters et al.). I want to foster change in this matter by designing a website similar to the Bechdel test website but encompassing forms of media beyond movies—such as books, comics, video games, etc. This would be accompanied by a publication and a video that would provide a rationale for this advocacy and why there is a need for such a website.

An organization I would like to collaborate with is UNESCO, particularly in the aspect of their Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) Lists. I want to aid in preserving the intangible cultural heritage of Asian countries through creating a documentary series; as well as creating branding and publication materials for the ICH campaign.

If there was one word to describe how I aspire my designs to be, it would be “memorable”. I aim to be a designer and/or illustrator for book covers, posters, and brand materials but I believe that a better placeholder for all these for now is a graphic designer in general. Through CTS A, I believe that I would be equipped with the skills, work ethic, and mindset to think creatively and critically for every project I am faced with, ensuring that each of them is memorable, as I aspire them to be.
