Desandares

Un par de meses antes de que la pandemia del Covid 19 cambiara nuestra forma de estar en el mundo, habíamos sido invitadas a ser parte de “El Caldo”, un festival curado por la artista Catalina Insignares para el Teatro Gessneralle en Zúrich.

En medio de la pandemia nuestro viaje a Zurich se fue desdibujando y nuestro proyecto cambió varias veces de una idea a otra. En esa trocha incierta empezamos a desandar.

Desandar es recorrer en sentido contrario el camino ya recorrido. Esta vez se trata de un desandar sonoro que recorre el camino de una familia que se ha movido entre montañas. Su historia empieza entre la niebla de las montañas del viejo Caldas, atraviesa las calles empinadas de Siloé, en las colinas de Cali, hasta llegar a Zúrich en Suiza.

La invitación es a dejarse llevar por “el río del tiempo”.

DESANDARES 1:

desandares 2:

Siloé is the neighborhood of Cali where César's family, whom we met in Desandares 1, settled after arriving from the mountains of Villa María. In this soundwalk two previus walks through the neighborhood are heard: a walk that César did with Albeiro, his father, and another that Noís Radio did with David Gómez, founder of the Popular Museum of Siloé, a space in a permanent transformation that takes care of and shares the memory of the Siloé neighborhood.

Siloé is located on one of the hills of Cali: it is a hill that looks at the city, but the city rarely looks at him. Its story is a story of migration, displacement, and the struggle for land and public services.

Albeiro and David take us through different sectors of Siloé where we hear, in the background, some conversations between neighbors. At some point during the walk, David brings to the conversation a recent public discussion that has taken place in the city about whether or not to bring down the statue of Sebastián de Belálcazar, the Spaniard who is credited with the founding of the city in 1536. David says: " If people bring down Sebastián de Belalcazar statue, the rich will go crazy. But we need that the people to know who that man was, a murderer of so many indigenous and black people for stealing the gold, some one that was never convicted"

Albiero points out his school, the houses of his “pachanga” (party) friends, and the corners where he used to hang out with his friends. In the background, you can hear the voices of scrap sellers and the sounds from the neighborhood gallery where avocados, carrots, and potatoes are offered. There are also some sounds of drums, they are "the little devils" groups of boys that play music with African rhythms and use costume as the devil, the skull, and other characters. Traditionally they come down from the streets of Siloé to play and dance in other streets of Cali.

Enjoy this 20 minutes soundwalk through Siloé. Remember “The half of the listen is imagination”.
