Comunidad is a social leader from Tumaco, Colombia. His love for music, as well as his concern for the forced recruitment of young people, led him to create a cultural center. Comunidad was displaced and currently lives in Bogotá.
Manuela Ochoa is an artist and research assistant at the Listening Acts Lab.
We ask ourselves: How can music and culture support and transform displaced communities to strengthen their identity?
What does it mean to be a social leader in a country at war? We will explore these questions through drawings, words, and music. We invite attendees to have a sheet of paper and a pencil during the conversation. No skill or artistic experience is required to participate in this space.
