COLOMBIA WATCH The struggle of Colombians is a struggle against fear and a struggle against invisibility. These are two of the worst weapons used against Colombians. Fear, because it causes the silence elites need to fulfill their agendas. Invisibility, because of its isolating effect: people cannot fight alongside, or build solidarity with, those they cannot see. In this article we bring you two movements who are exemplary in their struggles against fear and invisibility: The Popular Women's Organization (Organizacion Femenina Popular), and the Black People's Process (Procesas Comunidades Negras). The Struggle Against Fear On April 8, 2002, another member of the Popular Women's Organization (OFP) was assassinated by paramilitaries in Barrancabermeja. His name was Diafanol Sierra Vargas, and in addition to being a member of the OFP, he was also the director of the Foodworker's Union (SINALTRAINAL) Local in Barrancabermeja.

Out of Isolation Comes a Highly Original Voice
Tucked in a corner office of the Old Chemistry building, a poet works in what might seem like obscurity. Turning out books of poetry, short stories and novels all in Spanish gives Armando Romero, professor of Romance languages and literatures, little renown in this country, even among Cincinnati's intellectual elite. But back home in his native Colombia, and in other Latin American countries, Romero is a celebrity. He is known for his writing, but he is remembered as a member of an important revolutionary circle of literati who pushed the boundaries of thought and art during Colombia's repressive military regimes of the 1960s and 1970s. "It was like the beatniks," said Romero, winner of the 1996 Rieveschl Award for Creative and Scholarly Works. The dozen, or so, members of the Nadaists (el nadaismo) were a daring cultural avant garde in a culture that enforces tradition as well as order. The movement was also politically radical in the sense that it opposed the threat of all political systems fascists and communists to freedom. "He is, without a doubt in my mind, one of the important and foremost poets and prose writers of his generation in Latin America," according to Jose Kozer, professor of Hispanic languages and literatures at Queens College, Flushing, N.Y. Miguel Gomes, a professor of Spanish at the University of Connecticut said Romero "was well known among Venezuelan scholars, both as a narrator and as a poet, and I remember his poetry had a remarkable effect on young generations of poets who viewed him as one of the most audacious experimentalist artists of those times."

Local Amherst artist Edgar Sabogal was born in Colombia, South America, and now the knowledge of precolombian cultures gave me more identity to my art.
http://www.umass.edu/fac/calendar/augusta/pressreleases/sabogal.html
PRESS RELEASE Augusta Savage Gallery at the University of Massachusetts Amherst is pleased to announce an art exhibition titled, "Petri Dishes and Arthrax." This exhibition features work by local artist, Edgar Sabogal . The show will run from September 20 through October 18, 2005 with an Opening Reception on September 20, 5-7 p.m. Local Amherst artist Edgar Sabogal was born in Colombia, South America, where he lived for twenty-nine years. He moved to the United States 19 years ago and received his BFA from the University of Massachusetts in 1992. Sabogal was a visiting artist in Medellin, Colombia in 2004 as part of Augusta Savage Gallery's new Art International Residency Program (AIR). This program sends selected artists to international sites, where they live and work with gallery partners for one month. Now upon return, he has created an exhibit that will tell a story about his evolving perceptions resulting from this trip. As a native of Colombia, which has been in civil war since 1948, Edgar Sabogal’s view of the role that politics plays in people’s lives continues to shift and evolve. He observes that in Colombia, "politics and art are fused. Politics manipulates the media and religious groups.

  • Ensure that you take safety precautions when in Colombia. Ask your counterparts what areas of the city are dangerous. Be aware that both the murder rate and frequency of kidnapping is significantly high.
  • The formality of inland Colombians extends to their mannerisms; they do not like to engage in expansive gestures and animation. Residents of the coastal regions tend to be more expressive and less formal.
  • The standard greeting is the handshake upon introduction and departure.

    Andres from Colombia
    COLOMBIAN ARCHEOLOGY AND CULTURE
    In December 1994, I took a trip around Mexico. Basically, I went to Yucatan, and the principal Mayas Archeological places, such as, Chichen - Itza, Cozumel, X – Kambo, Xlapac, Kabah and Uxmal. At that time, I met a group of Archeology students. They come from some university in USA. Most of this American students asked me questions about my country, such as whether everyone uses drugs in Colombia, whether I knew Pablo Escobar whether the Colombian government is involved with the mafia and whether drugs are easy to get in my city. I felt like a criminal. If Archeology students had the opportunity to take courses about Colombian culture and archeology, they would learn a lot about its culture, archeology, history, people and traditions. They would learn Colombia is not just about drugs. By studying in Colombia, students can learn that there are only a few countries that can boast about the variety of natural and cultural resources available and Colombia is one of them. In fact, there are white sandy beaches to enjoy in the beautiful Caribbean San Andres Island, elevated snow capped mountains for people who like climbing mountains, exotic animals and lush vegetation for nature lovers in the Amazon’s jungle, peaceful colonial style villages, such as, Villa de Leyva and Cartagena, where one can learn about people and their cultures and historical archeological places like San Agustin and Tierradentro, where archeologists could learn interesting information about the past. Moreover, archeology students can learn many things with reference to the Colombian people, such as, traditions, religions, languages, and ancient Indian tribes.

    Colombian Youth Dance Group: Culture as Agency
    Report by Claudia Pineda Miguel Vargas presented Bajucol A group of about 25 youngsters rehearses every Friday throughout the year, which is unusual since most after-school programs do not expect good attendance on that day. Unlike other programs that struggle to recruit boys, half participants in Bajucol are male. The majority of the participants are immigrants or the children of Colombian immigrants, and many of them have recently arrived in the U.S. By now, several cohorts of youth have gone through Bajucol and stay in contact with the program. The intervention remains attractive to Colombian youth, but has also expanded to include youngsters from other countries, such as Puerto Rico or Japan. Bringing non-Colombian youth has been beneficial, because it has allowed for the establishing of close relationships among them as well as an exchange of different cultural traditions. Parents, teachers, local schools, university, and the community at large have collaborated with Bajucol in a range of aspects, including lending space for rehearsals, teaching workshops, inviting them to do presentations, donating books, costumes, or advertising. In 2000, a group of Colombian five professionals joined Bajucol and created a mentoring/tutoring program. They helped the group put together the annual show, bringing different resources and exposing young people to other experiences. For example, a student from the Berkley School of Music did an internship with Bajucol, taught Miguel and youth ways of making the show more professional, coordinated a workshop about Colombian folklore that informed their choreographies and set design, and brought other musicians from Berkley to perform with them.

    Colombia, illicit antiquities and the ICOM Red List Latin America
    C Not much is known about the looting of archaeological sites in Colombia, nor about how much archaeological material has been illegally removed. We can gain some idea from the widely reported plunder of a cemetery at Hacienda Malagana in 1992, when something like 160 kg of gold were removed by more than 5000 people and one person was murdered. Hundreds of tombs were destroyed in this one incident, and presumably it is a loss that has been repeated many times over throughout Colombia. Not much is known either about how much archaeological material has left the country, and it probably never will, but very little has ever been recovered. Those objects that have been recovered include some anthropomorphic figures from San Agustín, an area which was badly looted during the 1980s and 1990s. 17 statues are known to have been stolen, although a number have been returned. One piece, weighing over 1200 lb, left Colombia illegally in 1993 and was discovered at a gallery in California whence it was returned to Colombia; the French government has also returned another four figures that had been bought by a private collector in Nantes. There is certainly a good market for Colombian material. In 2000, for example, at the annual Cultura Fair, in Basel, Switzerland, one dealer offered a gold hoard from Colombia (consisting of 130 archaeological objects) for about $3 million. The Colombian Institute of Anthropology and History reports that some pieces leaving Colombia illegally may have two certificates: the first, which accompanies the piece through customs certifies that it is a replica; the second, which is produced at point of sale when the piece has left Colombia, guarantees its authenticity as an archaeological piece.

The Afro-Caribbean Ethnia of the Archipelago of San Andres and Old Providence has been formed with Maroon Slaves that came to the Islands from Jamaica, who at the same time left from Trinidad on the one hand. On the other the presence of black slaves and their slave masters who brought them in order to cultivate the land. We also find the practice of underground miscegenation which was widely practised by the white landlords during the time of slavery. The Miskito Indians were the first people to settle these territories. They called these islands the Abacoan Islands. They got along quite well with the English men. Finally, we also find British descendants amongst them we can mention the Scottish, the Welsh, and the Irish who left some fundamental aspects of our heritage as well as occasionally Europeans of diverse origins were present and contributed in the formation of the Afro-Caribbean Ethnia.

Unfortunately, the activites of guerillas and cocaine thugs have pushed 'Locombia' (the mad country) somewhat off-limits. Personal Safety Risks Abduction is common in Colombia, though tourists are not necessarily targeted. Police have a mixed reputation so avoid them unless absolutely necessary. Military activity often limits travel through otherwise safe areas so check ahead before you plan long trips. Remote areas and the entire area east of the Andes (except Leticia and its environs) should be avoided. Drugs, especially cocaine and its derivatives, are a major danger in Colombia for users and carriers.
