Voces de un lugar imposible – Diana Rangel
(I Prize for Research and Essay Therapeutic Applications of Art FMJJ 2018)
“In 2011 I met a group of boys, known as “rogues” by their nearby community. Our exchanges reached photography, narrative, trying to tell a story, explaining some meanings. Months later many things happened, both of them and I began to question the priorities of our lives, something happened in this exchange. Many of them discovered something different in themselves and decided to follow him, others did not. Two years later we made a traveling exhibition through the neighborhoods of Petare. Today we continue to tell this story. This work tells through a research essay, written chronicles, videos and photographic testimonies the subjective experiences of a group of criminals and their way of understanding the world.
