HOJA BANDERA

Winner Project of the Grant for Independent Editorial Projects.
Instituto Distrital de las Artes. Colombia.


Hoja Bandera proposes an alternative social memory to address the historical episode of the Banana Massacre that occurred in 1928 by exploring the photographic archive of the United Fruit Company, located in the Baker library,  in dialogue with the testimonies collected by Carlos Arango as well as with telegrams, documents of the time, slogans of the strikers, among others.

The book seeks to restore the potential of the archive through recontextualization and the generation of new syntax of that visual record of power, with the aim of articulating new narratives. A contrast of loose fragments that allows us to mentally visualize the images that could not be seen to understand the different dimensions that surround this event and thus reimagine it.
