¿Los Últimos Días?


¿Los Últimos Días? (2015-2019)

All the peace process in the world have a figures than evidences an percentage of guerilla members will return to take the guns. The territories where FARC were has been taken by other structures of power. A new reconfiguration of the conflict that has adapted the new forms of control over the territory. As well as disputes over the space of former members of the FARC. In the cities dozens of demonstrations for it and against the agreement shows a hateful and polarized environment where fear as a political resource against Venezuelan and its left goverment .

This has been led by the former president and now senator Álvaro Uribe who towards a black campain for justice statements policies to not promove and the no duties peace. The assassination of social leaders by growing paramilitary groups, the upsurge of violence in the most abandoned regions shows than colombian internal conflict will not end with a oldest guerrilla group in Latin America that preferred political struggle by the abandoned fields and limited by laws peasants.







Dummie
This project helps to show how the right-wing political elites who have led the country for more than 200 years have built a narrative of the enemy within, stigmatizing all left-wing political movements. This dummy seeks to face this political discourse in a documentary language, the vision of reality of peasants who took up arms and the unfounded fear in the cities suggest that the anxiety of a country that has lived through armed conflict for more than 50 years and that seems not to know what it is to live in peace.
