Eduardo Galeano

La vida loca
Documental sobre la Mara 18 y, colateralmente, sobre su enconada rival, la Mara Salvatrucha, bandas creadas a partir de modelos surgidos en la ciudad de Los Ángeles, que siembran el terror en El Salvador. Una historia de una imaginería contemporánea creada en un mundo globalizado y que describe los orígenes de uno de los probables mitos fundadores del crimen organizado. Por último, como dato trágico y escalofriante, su director, Christian Poveda, fue asesinado de un tiro en la cabeza en septiembre del 2009 por un miembro de las maras.

La vida loca
“La Vida Loca” reflects a depressing and hopeless reality. The documentary, by photojournalist and filmmaker Christian Poveda, follows some of the members of “la dieciocho”, the so-called 18th Street gang in a poor San Salvador neighborhood.

Una charla especialmente pensada para reconectarnos con el arte y sus expresiones a través de la historia. Al concurrir a un museo o a una galería de arte, muchas veces podemos sentirnos ajenos a las obras como si estas parecieran no estar realizadas para nosotros. En esta presentación veremos como debemos acercarnos al fenomeno estético y sus categorías de belleza y fealdad para pdoer apreciar y disfrutar el arte en toda magnitud.
José Gregorio Hernández, musico percusionista venezolano que ha conquistado grandes espectáculos junto a importantes artistas como Celia Cruz, Luis Enrique, Shakira y Franco de Vita. Estará con nosotros en un Facebook Live el próximo jueves 20 de agosto para contarnos como con todos sus instrumentos logra llevar la música al punto final para darle el un perfecto perfil latino.
