Voices Seen, Images Heard

A historian, also an interdisciplinary artist, engages in a self-dialogue of how to write the history of her city, Hong Kong. Drilling the disparate mines of sights and sounds, she re-examines the power and limitation of ocular epistemology, which favors visual perception as the dominant form of knowing. As she makes her way through the scanty and homogenous visual documents available, she re-imagines a city that has a precarious history of holding onto its look or preserving its architectural integrity at the interest of real estate development. In response, she re-constructs a visual essay that is also a collage of lost surfaces and shadowy fragments of existence. Her meditation leaves open the potential meanings of each of the sight-and-sound fragments that seem to have spoken to her, asking how feasible it is to access the past.

Voces Gitanas

Un grup de dones joves gitanes del barri de la Mina, a Sant Adrià de Besòs, al Barcelonès, emet cada dimarts un programa de ràdio anomenat: Voces gitanas. En ell, aquestes joves expliquen des de dins aquesta cultura. A més, aquest projecte els serveix per conciliar les transformacions socials i culturals amb la seva identitat gitana. A través d'aquest programa de ràdio, el documental pretén indagar en allò que pensen els gitanos sobre l'evolució i el manteniment de la seva cultura. “Yo creo que si la mujer gitana evolucionara demasiado y se pusiera a nivel de la paya, nuestra cultura se perdería”, diu un veí de la Mina, Basilio. Però la Tia Emilia, també veïna de la Mina, no ho veu tan clar: “la mujer gitana ha sido dos veces discriminada, y yo añado otra, tres veces: una por ser mujer, otra por ser gitana y otra por no tener un nivel académico”.
