Ester Gandía Martínez – (de)construcción

Sinopsis: El término deconstruir implica desestructurar, descomponer o dislocar las estructuras que sostienen la arquitectura conceptual de un determinado sistema, con el fin de comprender cómo está construido un conjunto, siendo necesaria la reconstrucción.

Así, la pieza (de)construcción surge bajo la premisa de revisar para conocer y, desde este conocimiento, poder actuar desde la consciencia. Empoderarse de tal forma que reconozcamos la estructura socio-cultural impuesta, la implantación de ideas abstractas de doctrinas arcaicas y patriarcales, donde a la mujer se le asignan y ésta aprehende numerosos roles transmitidos culturalmente y, por ende, naturalizados y no contrastados.

La deconstrucción desautoriza, deconstruye, es un pensamiento de la alteridad y no de la identidad.

Synopsis: “Where should we go after the last frontiers ? Where should the birds fly after the last sky ? “. by Mahmoud Darwish.

While the West still struggles to find solutions for the “refugee crisis”, the main route towards peace and hope remains passage through the Mediterranean Sea. In 2015 alone, of the almost one million refugees* and migrants attempting to cross these blue waters desperately fleeing war, violence, terrorism, and persecution : over three and a half thousand have lost their lives. What relies behind these numbers is the human desire and longing for that place “after the last frontiers…after the last sky”; a place that still remains unknown.

This video is for them not to be forgotten, it was their journey to reach safety, and unfortunately they walked toward their EUlogy.
