“Querida” Juana…

A veces, cuando tú no lo hagas, la vida te va a obligar a parar. En el 2020 habrá una pandemia mundial y tú, siempre participando en la cantidad de actividades suficientes para no tener que sentir con profundidad tus emociones, te encontrarás quieta, lejos de tu casa, en el refugio al que comenzarás a llamar tu hogar, sintiendo todo aquello que querías ocultar.

Listening

“Al parecer me van a pelar”; these were the words that greeted me as I opened the notification on my phone from a friend in Colombia. This was not the first time that David (pseudonym used) has shared the risks he has faced, but this was on a different level, more urgent and immediate than ever before. He found out yesterday that he was still perceived as a threat to an armed group in the area and that they were going to kill him. Any number of possible motivations for this threat to his life might have just popped into your mind now. Perhaps your first thought is that David is tied up in the drugs trade or criminal activity in the area; or perhaps he is a member of a rival group.

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.
