UntitledAn interview with Uruguayan writer and journalist Eduard Galeano, who spoke at the Acampadabcn assembly on May 23, 2011. “There is another world beating inside this one, a world that is different and seemingly difficult. It will not easily be born, but its definitely beating in this present world, and I sense its presence in these spontaneous demonstrations: in Plaça Catalunya in Barcelona, in Sol in Madrid (...) People ask me: “What's going to happen now?.. What’s next?... What will become of this?” And I can only answer from my own experience. I say: “Well... nothing...

It would be as if, every time I had an experience of love, I asked myself what was going to happen next."

Although their unexpected origin is random, their combinatory is guided by the lines of tension and fracture of each of these videos.

With fragments of: Fez Ciudad Interior, Wahab, Istishara, Anoche dhikr, Al Barzaj, Satsanga, with the final possibility of El Amor es tu Destino ...
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.
