The journeys of Martha Castro: Writing, drawing and listening as a means of encounter

A new series of dialogues entitled ‘Alternative possible encounters: seeing through the eyes of relatives of those who have been forcibly disappeared’, organised by our team working on the Unit for the Search of Disappeared People (UBPD).
In this first dialogue, we will speak with Martha Castro, about her experience dealing with the forced disappearance of her son, Andres Castro. We will reflect on the importance of local knowledge and symbolic strategies undertaken by the relatives of disappeared persons for society and institutions in Colombia.
