TEARATHON

Colombia, 2021. Human rights violations by police force, turmoil and social protest leave a devastating outcome: loss of human lives, crops, resources. Hope for a better future is in jeopardy.


A performance created to address the pain for the loss and to express solidarity with Colombia. A day to reflect, to cry, to mourn. Food becomes medium, onions become a symbol of the fight and of what is lost.


Mashing onions on a white flag with the name “Colombia” on it by the river. The name of this land is painted in red, reminiscent of Colombian artist Antonio Caro's typography artworks.
