Our Land – Namuy Nu Piro

Our Land – Namuy Nu Piro

Jose Antonio Dorado Zuniga / Colombia

A young indigenous Misak (Guambiano) who has migrated from his community to the city of Cali (Colombia), is about to finish his university studies.
In the young man, through his photographic task, he shares a portrait of his family and reflects on collective work (minga), the impact of religions against their ancestral gods, women and the trade of the loom and weaving, the cooking and the training of children, the relationship with the elderly as bearers of memory and knowledge, the historical struggles of
a Misak leader, who led by blood and fire the recovery of their lands that were usurped by the landowners. The young Misak also shares his relationship with the West, as a university student of Modern Languages and Social Communication.
