Detroit was once the epicenter of American industry. Today, it is a city in crisis. This is the story of the crisis, and of the people fighting to save their homes and their city.
An unusual anthropologist-archaeologist of the future explores sediment layers, in search of evidence of sexual activity, habits....
Welcome to the city of Detroit, 'the Murder Capital of the USA', where the grass is growing over the parking lots and the houses are abandoned. Here, a new life is slowly beginning to take form and take over the deserted city. But even if the writing on the wall has a different and more apocalyptic meaning, there is no reason to panic. 'Detroit Wild City' looks with the wandering gaze and cool, philosophical distance of the outsider at the changes in urban landscapes in a historical moment when a 'post-' is written before 'utopias', 'humanity' and 'dollar capitalism'. Invisible disasters have ruined the city, and all that is left are traces in the form of radio adverts about debt relief, flocks of stray dogs, and a mysterious pile of burned New Age books. But on the fringes of it all, people have started to reorganise themselves in autonomous societies, where settlers are growing vegetables and still believe in the future - just not as an extension of the present.
UntitledThe documentary "Between the book and the sword" portrays the Sikh community in the city of Barcelona and its surroundings, showing the contrast between the bustle and volatility of the city and a solid community with permanent social and cultural structures. Through the stories of some of its members, their flavors and the striking colors that fill the screen, we capture the intimacy of private space, the space of worship and prayer, and finally the occupation of public space. This film does not intend to show the totality of the Sikh community, but rather fragments of lived scenes that transport the viewer into an ethnographic experience. This video is part of the Educational Agreement of collaboration between the OVNI Archives and the Department of Anthropology of the University of Barcelona - UAB , for the curricular external practices of the students, of the academic year 2022-2023.
IA is an exercise that explores the format of the interview – as testimony or as a document – and the values associated with it: transparency/manipulation, neutrality/ideology and subjectivity/objectivity. When the procedure is laid bare, the substance is transformed. It could also be described as a series of visions from a city undergoing a reverse metamorphosis, an encapsulation, we could say: Barcelona 1992. A series of interviews edited with the camera in 1992 and 1994, and subsequently compiled onto two DVDs. Through the manipulation of the ritual, the interview becomes a space in which processes of the construction of meaning are challenged. Meta-interviews, self-interviews, interviews with the medium, views.
This video was edited as a result of the Captura Raval Workshop (OVNI - TEB - CCCB) "I don't think politicians have read any history at all, modern or ancient. Situations repeat themselves, and no matter how many guns they have, it will all be repeated again, because it will be necessasry. Watch out world leaders, murderers like Mr Bush...this is a Barcelona you can?t see one that hides?".

ECOSYSTEMIC MEMORIES OF THE CITY
Collaboration with Bornlab (El Borne CCM) for a collective approach to the contemporary imaginary of natural resources and territory, based on the sharing of current geopolitical issues that have an echo in the city of Barcelona.
This edition of the community studies group "Ecosystemic memories of the city" proposes a series of sessions in which we collectively approach the contemporary imaginary of natural resources and territory, based on the sharing of some current geopolitical issues that have an echo in the city of Barcelona.
Natural resources and the territory, based on the sharing of some current geopolitical issues that have an echo in the city of Barcelona. Through the contributions of various entities and people who connect us with critical archives, social actions and cultural initiatives in the city, we will address the recovery of community forms of agricultural social organization in contemporary pedagogies, images and slogans of movements for the protection of the land, as well as the reflection, from various worldviews, on cultural heritage and in connection with environmental issues that affect different international contexts.
The programme is organised in a participatory methodology that includes working groups where knowledge is pooled and perspectives are shared between guests and participants. In the different meetings, cultural proposals are discussed to explore the relationship between memory, community and ecology through collaborative experimentation and public action, which are included in the fanzine that is distributed in the closing session.
The Community Studies Group is a proposal of Bornlab, the community mediation programme of Borne CCM with the support of community mediation programme of Borne CCM in collaboration with Coalició Prou Complicitat amb Israel, La Colectiva de Chilenas de Barcelona, Comunitat Palestina de Barcelona, Laboratorio Móvil, OVNI (observatori de Vídeo No identificat) , Ruangrupa i docents i investigadores de l’Institut Català d’Antropologia, el Col·legi de Psicòlegs de Barcelona, l’Escola Massana and la Universitat de Barcelona.

1_ Land and traditions
Safaris in the gaps of the empire of property speculation. Psycho-geographic wanderings.Huge urban extension of desolated and confused territories between deconstruction and construction submerged to the rhythm of daily transformations... While the constructors look ahead in the future and neighbors reclaim the past of the workers district, here we are now, in a changeable and dynamic surroundings, without known marks and orientational signs. Municipal maps are not valid here any more.Flow of human circulations are generating and modifying according to measure that urban volumes are transforming. Every movement happens to be an adventure because it won't be possible to see and experience it never again.
