Project in residence
Consejos del mi güelu
Consejos del Mi Güelu is a poetic journey that invites us to reflect on life, learning and connecting with our roots. It pays homage to the wisdom passed down from generation to generation. Through the words of our grandfathers, we explore the connection to our roots and the importance of learning from those who came before us. Each piece of advice is a seed that germinates in our minds and hearts. The short film reminds us that to grow is not only to increase in physical size, but also to be reborn every day. Every dawn is an opportunity to improve, strengthen oneself and learn. Silence and reflection are part of this constant process.
