The magical, the dreamlike and the performative coexist in the particular world of Las Traviesas —a group of trans women from the Embera community, living and working in the Colombian coffee region. An aesthetic and conceptual universe with a particular stamp, in which documentary and fiction are indistinct palettes to draw the struggle to maintain indigenous identity.
Simon(e) Jaikiriuma Paetau is a Colombian-German filmmaker whose work deals with queer decoloniality. He studied at KHM (Cologne) and EICTV; he won the award for Best Director in Cartagena IFF. Escobar is an artist whose pieces address intersectional feminism, Andean phenomenology, identity, and memory.
