Colombia 2002

After the publication of the Colombian Truth Comission Report in June 2022, four Colombian artists engage the audience in unveiling some of the testimonials from the victims of the armed conflict. 

These violent episodes happened in 2002, when we were kids. Figuring out how to approach them was the core of this project. We realized that doing it feels like understanding a childhood trauma which was always there, but we were too young to understand. That’s why we shaped this piece as a group session. We found out that we didn’t need to share these stories. We needed to listen to them.
