Wreck Family
'Wreck Family' is a personal interpretation of the effects of the armed conflict in Andrés Cardona Cruz’s family and a search attempt of his disappeared mother:
“Approximately 20 of my family members have been murdered during the Colombian conflict. My parents had progressive ideas, they wanted a change and access to their rights, and they were killed for it. Since I was a child, I had many nightmares but I never talked about them, until a couple of years ago I started asking the members of my family about theirs. We concluded that some of us had dreams of violence (deaths, floods, murder, violence). Then I asked about their feelings left after the war (sadness, loneliness, poverty, forgetfulness, pain). I took the family photo file, the dreams and feelings of my family and those who live in the middle of the conflict, and I began to sketch with them some images that can portray what the war left in us.”
The Myth of the Pink Dolphin and the Ticuna Woman
'The Myth of the Pink Dolphin and the Ticuna Woman' explores the connection of the native woman with a species in danger of extinction. The indigenous Ticunas of the Amazon believe that the pink dolphin is a charming man who goes to the traditional festivities to get drunk and enchant the women. When they are enamored by a strange man, they are taken to the river and turned into dolphins. The Ticunas are approximately 7100 people. They see the natural world as a whole, and for them, men and women are part of the plants, the trees, the animals of the mountain and the animals of the water.
