Project Description

Project Description

A platform for building historical memory, Memoria de elefante uses three typical Co-lombian customs: oral storytelling, artistic expressions, and the tradition of tertuliar (social gatherings). A publication and a digital platform become the containers of a shared experience between different fragments of society and culture broken apart by more than 50 years of conflict.
