ECHOES Intersección Program. Short film screening and panel discussion

Film screening and conversation after the projection

Colonial Mentality: Otherness and Heritage

In this program, dominant historical narratives are brought to light through the image, as well as subliminal living pasts, with the aim of subverting or deconstructing them. Utopia and responsibility confront colonial mentalities from art — mentalities that continue to permeate our daily lives, sustained consciously and unconsciously by both historical and contemporary narratives. The works of the various authors confront tradition, spotlight the colonial legacy that permeates leisure and celebrations, but also the landscape, representation, bodies, and nature. Violence becomes evident, rooted in our history and identity, and calls upon us, generating self-questioning and repositioning our responsibility toward others and our common future. It is necessary to leave behind practices and discourses generated from extractivism, speciesism, objectification, and paternalistic condescension that distance us from the world, and whose roots are deeply intertwined in the image.
