This afternoon at 5 pm, in the Hall of the Museum of America (Av. de los Reyes Católicos, 6) will be screened the documentary Shipibas, by film director and screenwriter Vicente Pérez Herrero. Free entry. Limited capacity. Tickets will be delivered from 2 hours before the event. No more than two tickets per person will be delivered.
Shipibas is not just a documentary, it is a ritual, a deep search of the female Amazonian worldview, a journey through the creative trance, where each line of Kené art is a map to memory, pain and punishment.
Kené art, traced with the precision of the soul and the pulse of history, is born from the wise hands of the Shipibo-Conibo women. A millenary visual language that flourishes from an ancestral wound: genital excision, a practice now banished, but which has left its mark on the skin and spirit.
This documentary is part of the series TEKOHA, which in Guarani means “The place where we are what we are”, and that Vicente Pérez Herrero has been performing for more than 8 years on social and historical issues.
The screening of the documentary will be completed with a round table discussion in which the director himself, Vicente Pérez Herrero, and researcher Luisa González Saavedra will participate, PhD in Anthropology of America by the Complutense University of Madrid and a degree in Philosophy by the Pontifical University of Salamanca, who will discuss the creative process of the documentary, the symbolism of Kené art and the challenges facing today’s Amazonian communities.
