Los Rastros: Compositions Intertwined by Art, Colombian Armed Conflict and Resilience
Files
Abstract
Through this project called Los rastros: compositions intertwined by art, Colombian armed conflict and resilience, I aim to connect art, music, and the Colombian armed conflict into a cohesive narrative. By exploring how different art forms interpret the country’s complex history and cultural shifts, I seek to understand how these influences can shape my own music and how creativity fosters resilience and contributes to identity formation in Colombia. The project begins with an investigation into the origins and evolution of Colombia’s armed conflict and I will also explore the works of Colombian painters, writers, and photographers from 2004 to 2018 who have grappled with the realities of the conflict. By examining how these artists have used their mediums to document and interpret the human stories within this context, I aim to compose, arrange, record and mix five original compositions.
