“In exile, two symphonies unfold simultaneously; two realities confront the same moment in time. One world collides violently with another and must learn to put down roots. In exile, the Promised Land is relocated within oneself” – In recent years, there have been major waves of emigration as a result of violence and a lack of work and prospects. Between 4 and 5 million Colombians (10 per cent of the population) now live abroad (according to Semana Magazine. Alarming figures on the exile of Colombians. 15 June 2003).

Trauma in Art & Practice
Collection of artworks, images and exhibitions photos related to transsomatic trauma
The videos on display at the Museo Casa de la Memoria (House of Memory) in Medellín, Colombia, focus on five key words that reflect the conflict in Colombia: FEAR, SOLIDARITY, RESILIENCE, MEMORY, DIFFERENCE. Each word transports us into an everyday situation, into something familiar and recognisable, enabling us to analyse it from the perspective of war, from the viewpoint of its protagonists and in terms of its impact on the reality in which we live.
