Caribbean Heritage, a photographic exhibition: 

 

From the Ciénaga all the way to Alta Guajira, the Colombian Caribbean covers thousands of kilometres wherein ancestral knowledge, theatre, Living Pictures and “Walking Dances” enlight the spaces from the coast to the mountains. The sound of the Colombian bagpipe and the drums mark the pace as you move from a tropical landscape to the desert of La Guajira.

 

The Living Pictures stand out from the rest of the practices of the land of Sucre, an ancient practice that is transforming with time. From the biblical scenes of the clergy, through the poetry and prose of the local literature, as well as the remembrance of the war and the projection of the hope of peace, these compositions arise from the intimacy of the inhabitants of these lands. The Living Pictures are in themselves a practice of peace that instrumentalizes collective creation and community participation, which might be the reason why it has persisted throughout the conflict.

Fandango/Yonna and Living Pictures –  Caribbean Heritage. 2020

 

In the Caribbean region, their dances and Living Pictures are practised, traditions that inhabit both the mystery and uncertainty of life, as well as the celebration and joy of sharing in the community. Elements that speak of a certain musicality, of a movement, and a connection with the wider environment. Living Pictures that portray the concerns of a people emerging between tradition and artistic innovation.
