00:05What can you see here are the traces of the war in the area where I lived in Siberia.
00:12It was about the place where I lived in Siberia, where I lived in Siberia.
00:16They killed a house and killed people.
00:19Here you can see a woman who lost her son, who lost her husband, who lost her friend,
00:24a neighbor, a neighbor, a family,
00:27by the simple fact that they used boots,
00:29or simply because they had long hair,
00:32or because they didn't have their identity documents,
00:35or because they just looked at the face of the guerriller and killed them.
00:49This symbol that is here is the symbol of terror, the symbol of the fear,
00:53the cause of that people nowadays look at the ejército like fear.
00:58Before you look at the ejército with respect,
01:01nowadays you look at the camouflage, you look at the military,
01:04because the military is operating with the paramilitary,
01:07so that caused a lot of terror, a lot of fear.
01:11I was taken out of my house, I took my doors, I was taken out of my interior,
01:16I was forced to put my boots on the other side, I tied up, I was tortured,
01:20and it turned out that I had not been a paramilitary,
01:23I had been the sergeant David Sierra Alias El Boquinche,
01:27a sergeant, a sergeant, of course, of the ejército,
01:29a sergeant.
01:31When was the sergeant?
01:32When was the sergeant?
01:34Why did the sergeant?
01:36Because they entered the ejército with the paramilitary
01:40to Siberia, and for them everyone was guerriller,
01:45so they entered the sergeant.
01:58The sergeant was not the war, the sergeant was not the war,
02:03the sergeant was not the war, the sergeant was not the war,
02:04but the sergeant was also added to the people who infiltrated
02:08from the paramilitary in coffee, to drink coffee,
02:12and to see who were armed groups.
02:18When we saw the car that arrived,
02:21in the place where I lived, it was little populated,
02:25and there was no car, but when one saw the car in the night,
02:31and by the end of the door, the window, one saw the car,
02:34one that said, the angels of Satan, or another that said,
02:41the palomita of the death.
02:43When one saw those cars through the sector,
02:45one knew that there was a presence of them,
02:49and that someone would kill them,
02:50and that in some cases they would throw them,
02:53or that they would do everything
02:55that they would like us as women.
03:04When we started to build the memory and make the carpet,
03:09we didn't really know how to represent that fact.
03:16The disappearance, we can say here,
03:20look, this happened.
03:24the terrorist attack,
03:26we can say, well,
03:28the oleoduct,
03:30they put a bomb,
03:32they exploded,
03:32all this.
03:34In the personal wounds,
03:36we can put a person cut,
03:40a person,
03:41maybe,
03:43if they put an antipersonal gun,
03:46well,
03:47a man without his legs,
03:49and so on.
03:51So,
03:51we got the idea,
03:53with our colleagues,
03:54to make this tree,
03:57that we call the tree,
03:58the tree of forgiveness,
04:00here we have people,
04:03of different,
04:05let's say this is a woman,
04:06this is a woman,
04:07of different gender,
04:10and here we have some hands,
04:14and some hearts,
04:15so we have called the tree of forgiveness,
04:19because I think that it is the way that they have left to the victims of this crime,
04:25it is the way,
04:26it is the way that they have left to them,
04:28it is looking for reconciliation and forgiveness.
04:31In our municipality,
04:32there are men who were killed,
04:35who were tortured,
04:38who were persecuted,
04:39and who were called,
04:40but we,
04:41who know these stories,
04:42these people,
04:43we raise that voice,
04:45because I think that,
04:46by the dignity of man,
04:47by the machismo of man,
04:49or perhaps by the prepotence,
04:50I don't know,
04:51or the ego of man,
04:52they don't talk about what happened,
04:54but not only we,
04:56we were victims of sexual violence,
04:58or obstetric violence,
04:59but the men also were violated.
05:12Because when one does this type of work, it is not easy to stop,
05:17it is not easy to stop, it is not easy to stop, it is not easy to stop,
05:21because that should be clear.
05:23It is clear, we do not work in memory to instigate or to use hatred or vengeance,
05:33hatred and vengeance are not easy to be when there are justice systems.
05:39We proposed a space in this gallery, here in the city of Bogotá,
05:45where they are in the first time, and they narrate the stories between themselves
05:50and the women of Aracataca, the women of Orito, for example, how each one did their work,
05:58and that makes them not feel alone, they feel that there are other people with the same pain.
06:12The armed groups, what we have asked, what we want through this?
06:18That they tell the truth.
06:22With the peace process, we have achieved that they disarming,
06:26but there is a very big process that is telling the truth to the victims.
06:31There are many, many, that we really don't know,
06:36so we want to know the armed groups to tell the truth.
06:41If they are alive, if they killed them, where their bodies are,
06:45because many people, many victims cry the disappearance of them,
06:49that they don't know what happened.
06:51So, as they had the verraquera and the pants to come to our farm and say,
06:59we want them to take this, they have the same verraquera,
07:03they have to sit in front of us and say, I did it.
07:06Look, here I was plasming, plasming, these are walls,
07:11the walls of the municipality of the Putumayo and many parts of Colombia,
07:16and these small walls are the new generation,
07:18the new generation that comes in the way, of the youth.
07:20So, the work represents a Colombia where you can walk freely,
07:27without fear of climbing a mine, as it is written here,
07:31without fear of being raped, without fear of being raped,
07:34without fear of being raped or used to fight for the war.
07:38A Colombia where you live in peace, that represents the work.
07:58So, the falt оперations are assumed to live in peace.
