Through the Earth
Malena Bystrowicz, Loreley Unamuno * 2024 * Argentina * 1 Hour 20 Minutes
Blanca and Patzi migrated from Bolivia to Argentina. They carry the lore of ancient history, the memory of a dream in Aymara,
a mud brick house, the moon and the harvests. When they migrate, things change their name, their time, their place. The roots unfold in the dark tracing paths through the Earth. The community emerges in the city as a way to construct a possible present. Within the collective they weave their stories together with those of other women where they see themselves reflected and empowered. Two women, a shared journey that crosses more borders than the territorial.
