The idea for this short / interview arises from research work on youth and migration. From this interview, we want to focus on migration as a global and timeless phenomenon. Our intention is for the viewer to understand that young people share similar interests, expectations and objectives like access to studies, a job, a stable and safe home ... Even though the phenomenon of migration is complex and we must take many factors into account, with this video we want to continue eliminating prejudices and rejection of migrants from all over the world, understanding that their objectives are not different from those of ours, but that many times in their countries of origin their integrity is compromised and violated and their opportunities to access a better life are limited, and therefore it is necessary to undertake a trip. In this interview, Juliana tells us what prompted her migratory path, the unstable situation in which she lived, the opportunities she has had and her goals: to find a job, continue her studies, take care of her family ..., while she tells us how his grandfather was also a young migrant during World War II, in search of a better future. Showing us how cycles repeat themselves and that it is necessary to create mechanisms and networks so that young people can emigrate in dignified and safe conditions. This video is part of the Educational Agreement of collaboration between theOVNI Archives and the Department of Anthropology of the University of Barcelona - UAB , for the curricular external practices of the students, of the academic year 2020-2021. work pdf

Free entrance, limited capacity.
We present some explorations or investigations that try to respond to the demands of the epoch. A demand of a light at the end of the night. No one today can present a diaphanous and perfect affirmation, in the midst of a context of noise, confusion and fear. We propose environments and contexts of moving image that aim to open a crack for understanding.
Fundamental questions are raised: How to understand the use of still and moving image in post-instagram times?, to what degree the screen is really part of our lifes?. Where is located a landscape rendered in the screen?, what is the strength of stories told with images?, what bifurcations in reality are being followed in the cybernetic metropolis?
Explorations at dawn brings us some testimonies, research projects that adopt different strategies and forms to acquire knowledge about contemporary issues around the image, the faculty of imagining, magical forces, and questions of technology and tradition. Franz Rossenzweig said, «A good witness must be the one for whose credibility others literally go through the fire».
As testimonies of that otherness that beats at the bottom of all reality, E xplorations at dawn intends to go beyond the signature and the authorship. The different moments of our research are infinitesimally intertwined, creating a rhizome of resonances.
To cross the interface. Multiplying the combinatorial possibilities, reaching the infinitesimal where every stiff capture falls apart, leaves a door open even among our modest and strange existences. To keep the heart open to listen to that which exceeds in reality, to the unfolding of a small domestic garden or the resonance between the interior gardens and the starry sky. In every exploration of reality there is more than what appears at first sight, because every reality is in excess with respect to itself.
