The Problem of Freedom
Alejandro Figueredo Díaz-Perera
In this work I was interested in stories of trade, heritage and our colonial past, how they are recursive and how to heal these ghosts. I recently did my genetics test and I found out that my genes contain traits from almost every place in the world except from the regions of Russia, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, India, and Australia. What do you do with such an intense myriad of complicated cultures? The question of identity dives deep at infinitum, the history of wars, slave trades, colonial expansions, movements of people, it cannot be answered, only observed and meditated upon. Confusion and chaos is what was left and a dream within a dream of who I am.
