This Friday 13th November, the Colombian Truth Commission will do a formal act to acknowledge the suffering of more than half a million Colombians who have been forced into exile in the last six decades. Until 2014, Colombia was the source country number one in terms of immigration to both Quebec and Canada. The act will be a multi-media online even, with some in-person and many online presentations that will bring together victims, organizations, and authorities from more than 25 countries. (see attached poster for more details). // The event will be streamed on the commission's channels on November 13th at 10h00AM EST.

Bicentenario, a film by Pablo Alvarez-Mesa will be accessible online from November 12 to 18 on the RIDM website. A conversation and Q&A will be held on November 17th at 19h00 EST. // On the 200th anniversary of Simon Bolivar’s liberation journey across Colombia, Bicentenario reflects on the far-reaching consequences of the Liberator’s legacy, a legacy kept alive through a wide range of intentional and unintentional rituals of remembrance. Summoning Bolivar’s spirit in the ...exact landscapes that witnessed the battles, Bicentenario reveals the contemporary social rituals that perpetuate the ongoing violence residing deep within the social and political unconscious. Two Hundred years after his campaign, Simon Bolivar’s spirit has become a mix of political mysticism, unquestioned doctrine and enigma - or perhaps a curse that has fixed itself in the collective imaginary of an entire continent. It is this curse that Bicentenario seeks to invoke, and perhaps exorcise.
