In the world, there are 72 million children without any formal education or schooling. Their capacity to learn, thirst for knowledge, and desire to build a future for themselves are the same as those of the children that go to school daily.
However, war, poverty, inequality between sexes, and the need to simply survive ensure that not everyone has the same opportunities. The initiative of Blipoint’s Gallery contest, together with the Global Humanitaria NGO, is to vindicate, through art, access to Obligatory Universal Education, one of the objectives of the Millennium foreseen for 2015.
An exhibition will take place featuring the 20 winning images in the NIU space. The takings of the sale will be used for the educational projects of Global Humanitaria.

The exhibition with the 20 winning images will take place from October 21st until November 14th, 2010. In NIU. Espai Artístic Contemporani.

What does one think of when one thinks of Caracas?  When one is far away?  When one doesn’t know it?  When one is there, experiencing home and climate?  It is complex and useless to try to define this city, this geography trapped between mountains, this mixture of different bloods, languages, idiosyncracies, and cultures; this particular chaos that, like all chaos, also has its order.  Caracas, capital that pays homage to its geopolitical denomination and concentrates all types of capitals in a country that has been centralized for centuries:  the human, economic, and, thusly, existential.  Everything can be found here, everything coexists, everything joins and revolves.

Siempre nos hemos preguntado ¿como somos?
Y nos ha despertado mucha curiosidad la diferencia de nuestras culturas. Las tradiciones culturales reflejan la historia e idiosincrasia de nuestra tierra. Nuestras fiestas, la música, la danza tradicional, son algunas de las cosas que nos identifican como pueblo.
En esta oportunidad los quiero a invitar a conocernos más, ¿Quienes somos? ¿De donde venimos? ¿Cual es nuestra historia?
Vamos a contarnos con imágenes lo que somos como país.

¿Qué es para ustedes el autopaisaje? ¿Cómo lo plasmarían en imágenes?
Para mí son paisajes íntimos, personales, lo que no rodea, el espacio y el tiempo que nos pertenece. Sería genial comenzar a indagar este tema para una futura convocatoria.
Los paisajes de mi habitación, de mi oficina, mi casa, espacios que me describan como individuo. Es una forma de reconocernos y mostrar aquello que somos.
Aquí les dejo algunas imágenes realizadas hace aproximadamente 10 años mientras indagaba en este tema.
