Por dentro somos color, by Elena Pardo
Mexico, 2024, 16mm projected on video, 13'
In Santa María Tlahuitoltepec, in the state of Oaxaca, the women's organization Poj Kaa manages a community herbarium. Plant-searching expeditions are a way to share knowledge with midwives, healers, and xëmaapyë. In Teotitlán del Valle, the Ruiz family searches for colors they find in plants and insects, which they use to dye the wool they use to weave rugs. Both practices involve traveling the land, recognizing it, naming it, and connecting with everything it contains.

In the historic port city of Cartagena, Spain—border crossing between Global North and Global South, between the south of Europe and the north of Africa—we present a program of experimental cinema from the “other continent,” with weight placed less on North America (with which we nevertheless chronologically begin) than Latin America.
