Soy un ser cuyas raíces // I am a being whose roots

Soy un ser cuyas raíces // I am a being whose roots reworks Jacques Madvo’s Countries & People: Venezuela to explore labour and migration. Taking the final words of the film’s voice-over as a starting point, Soy un ser cuyas raíces // I am a being whose roots pairs Madvo’s film footage with a text-based conversation with young Venezuelan literature scholar and language teacher Angel Said Dominguez Pinto. Dominguez Pinto relocated to Panama in 2014 to make a living teaching English, Spanish and German in Panama City after Venezuela’s economic collapse. Over e-mail, we co-authored a conversational text, exploring migration, labour, exile, and hemispheric relationships.

Liu A, Sing A, and Bi Hong

The tinkling sound of the wind chimes, the soothing harmonica, and the sudden thundershower in the afternoon.These were what Liu A’s summer made out of. The Kua-á-hì stage at the temple yard, the unknown photographer, the excitement of debut, and the bittersweet harmonica. These were what Sing A’s summer made out of. The scattered hair and dance moves, the drifting raft by the lake, and the boisterous feast of the full moon. These were what Bi Hong’s summer made out of.
