FACES OF MIGRATION


FACES OF MIGRATION-ELS FACES OF MIGRATION

Through a sample documentary This exhibition presents an untold story: the relationship between Catalonia and Ecuador, where Catalan and Ecuadorian destinations, under a historical perspective (1880-1940), stories are emerging in small, almost "intimate." The migration of recent years will interpreted by an art-performance and video, made by Ecuadorian artists and Maria Rosa Amelia Poveda Jijón. Finally, the conceptual and documentary content is summarized in a catalog that will be delivered on opening day and the historians who participated Matteo Manfredi, Maria Elena Porras, Malena and Natalia Bedoya Esvertit.

For this event, participated and Catalan Ecuadorian institutions that have supported this initiative since its inception, as has been the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Programme of the Bicentennial of Independence, the Vice President of the Generalitat, the permanent secretariat to the migrations, the Cultural Heritage Department of the Generalitat, the National Secretariat for Migrants in Ecuador, among others, for which the Consulate has offered its appreciation.

Faces of migration, Ecuadoreans in Catalonia and the Catalans in Ecuador is the result of a project undertaken by the Consulate General Ecuador in Barcelona for the recovery of your files, and reporting of a story so far not explored: the relationship between Catalonia and Ecuador, where migration processes are the main focus.

This exhibition took as its starting point the link between memory and identity, against the complex reality of contemporary mass transit in human beings beyond their national borders. Under a historical perspective , has designed a conceptual reading synchronously with four questions that enable visitors to appropriate the contents that refer to a particular problem, whether economic, social, immigration, cultural and political intervention for the recovery of the past. From this concept, we present the following areas:

Barcelona Guayaquil, ports and destinations in which links the dynamics of world trade and strengthening of post-industrial capitalism as a system in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, with two meeting places and social mobility: Barcelona Guayaquil. It highlights the Ecuadorian presence in Expo Barcelona, \u200b\u200b1888, through the inclusion of Ecuadorian products many Catalans managed by residents in the most important port in Ecuador at the time, who in turn due under the second boom cocoa "Ecuadorian able to undertake thriving business and shopping in this city of Buenos Aires.

The footprint of the migrant, part of a reflection on the intertwining of the concepts of memory and identity, whose most visible tool in the consular file documentary collection is the book I Ecuadorian Record 1903 -1953 , a key part that makes visible the Ecuadorian and Catalan itinerary along history. Through a proposed museum -A-way installation is hoped that the visitor can revive the past through documents, photographs and different identity records therein.

cultural exchanges time, the purpose of fundamental is to present in a particular historical moment-the first half of the twentieth century the various contributions to certain people linked to the field of arts and education conducted in both Ecuador and in Catalonia.

file, source memory is a space that promotes the enhancement of consular file as a tool for the recovery of a common past and the importance of memory in contemporary democratic construction. This space will show the process that demands a technical and professional intervention, as well as possibilities for further research on this documentary heritage.

The culmination of the sample is visible contrast between Catalan migration to Ecuador in early twentieth century, with that produced by Ecuadorians who come to Catalonia in the late twentieth and early new millennium (1999-2001 ), particularly from Guayaquil and the coastal region the country. This new situation is presented through two proposals for contemporary art, an art-performance product of body language workshops with migrant children and videoart series will reflect the results of this experience and experiential evidence, made by Ecuadorian artists living in Europe. coordination - MARIA ELENA PORRAS CURATOR - MALENA BEDOYA

Ronny_ Published in the Daily


Ronny Mauro Cerbino

mcerbino@telegrafo.com.ec

is a guy like many. He is dressed in a T-shirt, cap and shorts. With a group of Latin Kings turn to pick through the center of Guayaquil where he works. Leads us to his house. He lives in one of the Guasmos, south, near the "death row." Tells us that she does not listen to these stories of the neighborhood, he did not pass anything, you're him, respect him. However, we recommend keeping the car in their garage. The neighborhood are not observed cars parked on the street. Pouring rain, everything around us is flooded.
"We heard a piece called" Battle Cry ", out loud, as it should be"

When you close the door behind us, we get to a small room and then to another. It is a recording studio. Ronny asks us to wait a few minutes because you have to change clothes. Returns with a corduroy trousers, a shirt with a vest and a leather jacket. In the study, despite the air conditioning, heat is very strong. However, any degree of temperature conditions Ronny in selecting their clothing. The study is completely coated with espumaflex, and divided into two parts by a glass. On one side is the microphone, on the other recording equipment, high technology and best brands. Ronny made to walk a few tracks on which he worked, which sent the Yoni. Artists, panas there have been astonished by the laborious and meticulous Ronny has done. Here in America, these things can no longer do, are very expensive. Listen to a piece called "Battle Cry" at full volume, as it should be. War cry is a call for peace on the streets, to make an end to the indifference of society, is a cry for attention from those who believe that young people grown in selected street violence.

Music is the life of Ronnie, what's outside stays outside. He who does not belong to any youth organization of the street, many young acolyte who want to make music. It is their way of participating. It's the best you can offer and has made a name and a life around music. That evening we learned that in the most difficult music Guayaquil twelve people could make very different find something to share.

Young people want to make music. Why it seems so difficult to understand that it is something as important as formal education, because it makes sense for them and because off other practices as violence. Ronny's example should inspire us to think not of personal success (as is often the journalists trying to make life stories that confuse celebrity with moral and reconstruction needs of social ties and generational) or where there are good young men and other bad (as they do many police and teachers), but in the opportunities open to young people through music. Work together so that they can be implemented recording studios and other fine "paraphernalia" in the neighborhood, run by young people as Ronny.

birds of passage

curated by Federica La Paglia

Arteknè In the area of \u200b\u200bthe first contemporary art fair in Matera (Italy) is presented as a parallel event sample birds of passage curated by Federica La Paglia.

The project concerns the study of Lucan territory considered in its socio-political emergency, seeks to address the issue of migration, from the analysis of a reality that sees Basilicata as the first Italian region for flow of migrants to which, at the same time, adds a strong immigration.

This mixture and comparison between migrants is the starting point for birds of passage, a name that was given in the U.S. in the '20s with immigrants from southern Europe.

migration in the sample is considered under the profile of migrant sentiment, emotions and memories, thus trying to create a dialogue between different South - specifically the South of Italy and South America - historically pooled for the same fate of departures and returns.

The guest artists are Felipe Aguilar (Chile), Marco Baroncelli - Enzo Orlandi (Italy), Donna Conlon (Panama), Ines Fontenla (Argentina), María Rosa Jijón (Ecuador), Mario Opazo (Colombia), Manuela Viera -Gallo (Chile).

The works chosen place man in a central position - not the phenomenon - touching emotional chords, not just intellectuals, both for political jobs as in those overtly poetic.

's will perform a show that has a connection with the territory also influenced the choice of exhibition space: birds of passage is installed in Le Monacelle, XIV century former convent and pilgrim's house in the '90s turned into a hostel, rather than faces and stories in transit.

Works, located on different areas of the convent / hotel, invite visitors to travel evocative penetration deeper.

LUCANIA and PROMO VIDEO



The Basilicata is a region with old suitcase. The Lucani are witnessing a phenomenon that has been back with the handles of the story at least 30 or 40 years, emigration has returned to 1960 levels - 70. On average each year from 2000 people, a flight which along with very low birth rates, involves the depopulation of the region. The data is not wrong: a finales del 2006 la población de Basilicata era de 594.476 personas, 165 menos que en el 2005.

Mistreatment Of Measles

_ PLEASE READ CAREFULLY


When My Academic Colleague Went To Prison on a B Misdemeanor



When my university colleague Luis Barrios went to federal prison five weeks ago after being convicted for “trespassing” (a B misdemeanor usually met with a fine, community service or short term imprisonment not in a penitentiary) during a protest at the infamous School of the Americas at Fort Benning, Georgia I said to him, “at least you’ll be in Manhattan, at least you’ll be near your family and friends.” “Yes,” he said, “but you never know what will happen. You can go in there for a month and come out in a year.” I smiled uneasily, fully aware of such cases but thinking, “He’s a well known Episcopalian priest, a full professor and academic chair at the largest school of criminal justice in the country (John Jay College of Criminal Justice). He’ll be held for 60 days at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in the heart of downtown Manhattan, two blocks from city hall. How risky can it be?” A lot can happen in five weeks.

Today, April 12th, his wife Minerva will get to see her husband for the first time since Monday March 9th when Luis entered the facility at 150 Park Row, escorted by a smiling member of the prison administration while sixty of his friends, family and supporters shouted their support for his courageous stand on behalf of international human rights. We saluted his efforts to expose the workings of an establishment founded by the U.S. Department of Defense more than a half-century ago that has turned out so many murderous members of the Central and South American military and police to fight subversion in the name of democracy. Little did we know that the torturous activities Luis was protesting would befall him in that highly organized, rationally managed facility just twenty minutes from his office in the city’s Mid-Town.

On Friday March 20th, after Luis had been held for eleven days without receiving a letter or a phone call from him I began to worry. As a long time student of inmates and prisons I was used to hearing from the incarcerated within a few days of their internment. During the course of the day my colleagues and I began to piece together a disturbing pattern of abuse by the authorities that has become the norm rather than the exception in many of our “correctional facilities.”

We learned in a series of letters just received from his wife that from his first day Luis was placed in the Special Housing Unit (SHU) in the maximum security section normally reserved for the most dangerous and unruly of inmates and kept there for the following ten days. Held in solitary in a cell measuring ten foot by six foot for twenty three hours a day with a small plexi glass window, he had been caged like an animal. At times Luis was given a cell mate with whom to share his dungeon-like experience, a place where you eat the inedible, sleep, sit, stand and emit your human waste while covering yourself with a sheet to attain a modicum of privacy. We learned that one of his cell mates had already been incarcerated for five years and had become, according to Luis (a trained psychologist), a “walking time bomb.” On the fourth day of his stay in the SHU Luis became very ill, vomiting and feverish he complained of pains in his back and stomach but for twelve hours was refused treatment. Finally, the resident doctor agreed to examine him and decided to send him to a local hospital emergency room where he was diagnosed with an infection in one kidney and stones in the other. On his way to and from the hospital he was strip searched, his cavities meticulously examined while his hands and feet were placed in manacles and chained to each other. Luis felt this was the ultimate humiliation, a form of dehumanization used repeatedly across the “system.”

Almost two weeks into his stay Luis received the first visit from his lawyer followed by a visit from his fellow priest at St. Mary’s church in Harlem. After almost three weeks Luis was allowed to make his first five-minute phone call to his wife. After almost four weeks Luis was visited in his cell in the general population wing by an assistant to the warden and told that he had a “bad attitude.” The emissary informed Luis that the warden had received a letter from the president of Luis’s college protesting the mistreatment of one of his faculty members. The emissary asked Luis to sign a letter denying that he had received such treatment. Luis replied that the accusations were true and could not oblige. A couple of days ago Luis received another visit from another emissary and Luis gave him the same answer.

On May 6th, providing Luis’s prison term is not extended due to his “bad attitude,” my colleague will emerge from this institution in the center of what many like to think is the world’s most cosmopolitan and civilized of cultural capitals. In one of Luis’s most recent prison letters he writes, “Under these circumstances with my dear brother inmates I remain highly motivated. My spirit is still looking for peace with justice. Sometimes I think this system has but one goal: to dehumanize and break you. Believe me, this is not going to happen. I’m a person of faith, vision, and action. I came in here with my dignity and although I’ll be going out differently my commitment to social justice remains intact.”

Remember, this is what can happen to you as a prisoner of conscience on a B misdemeanor. Imagine if you committed a felony or god forbid robbed a bank that you didn’t own?

(On January 26, 2009, in a federal courthouse in Georgia, Luis Barrios, along with four others, Kristin Holm; Sr. Diane Pinchot, OSU; Al Simmons; and Theresa Cusimano received sentences of 60 days in a federal penitentiary while a sixth, Louis Wolf, was sentenced to six months of house arrest. The six were found "guilty" of carrying their protest against the School of the Americas (it was renamed the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation in 2001) onto the Fort Benning military base. They were among thousands who gathered on November 22 and 23, 2008 outside the gates of Fort Benning to demand the closure of the school)
