For a more human city in the service of children


Colombia appears before our eyes as a nation crossed by several problems that one way or another inevitably affect the children. Economic exploitation of children related to work, once again demonstrates the growing inequality, social injustice and dehumanization that permeate the environments that develops the majority of children.

Popayán is clear that this problem is also present, just that usually remains hidden or is it the same people that which instructed to ignore, either by a lack of address the problem of children exploited at work or feel powerless because this actually prefer to look in another direction.

That's why on this occasion, Eco Shadow been interested in showing that child exploitation in the workplace, not just a situation faced by countries which the children are employed as miners, fishermen, cargeros, etc., but this truth is active against us, is reflected in the market squares, in parks, at traffic lights in order in the streets of a Popayán that look both structures have forgotten to stop in front of the little faces that run through leaving aside the study and the games themselves at their young age.

Are Water Picks Any Good

One night walking to Popayan ...

Eco Shadow provides an account of a society that had been invisible in the eyes of Popayán . A society that inhabits the night and through the streets with a solitary and individual character that characterizes the recycler, which shows the situation of poverty, lack of social policies, social intolerance, among other things.

The night appears to be the antithesis of the day. For It has confined only be a short time because they ventured outside the active life of citizens, remain in the collective imagination of break time and shelter to the possible danger caused by the invisibility that produces the dark.

However, there are many characters that emerge at that time. Time for work, to weave stories and dreams, to find ways to survive in a city individualistic, which censors the other spaces, spaces of difference.
is why we have gathered some evidence that recreate the nightlife they have been relegated recyclers and those who clean the city, because at night the city is purified from the ravages of the royal city.

History of recyclers in Colombia, has no historical record to establish its inception, the country until the early nineteen 50as, in the twentieth century, was at 70% rural, political violence unleashed the field resulted in the deaths of thousands of peasants, leaving widows and orphans product of this violence, which no other option migrated to cities as a population without employment opportunities; found in the garbage a way to survive.

Popayán phenomenon in response to something similar, demand grows and the city becomes.

Viva Eye Drops Dry Eye

Popayán, a city beyond the nostalgia. Eco



structures, environment, activities and customs of Popayan, the colonial city, founded in the mid-sixteenth century, a period where it was considered important administrative and commercial center have changed.

The city, beyond being conceived as an urban entity with high population density, which is dominated mainly manufacturing and services, today discovered a symbolic network in constant construction and expansion, a view that has been built urban studies, for example, through the urban imaginary raised by Armando Silva.

Popayán
is narrated no longer with the nostalgia of the poets who see the change, the destruction of his ideal city, however, is becoming Popayán narrated by men and women of flesh and bone that make use of spaces and internalization where life develops.

historians and poets have taken as an object of study and as a muse to inspire a lively city, which survives in the middle of the suburbs, that of smoke trails that lead to broken dreams, sounds quiet but to deafen, Hollow-faced and screaming for no echo.

The city that never existed, but we always dreamed of it was starting to become real.

To further explore the issue we have invited the historian Charles Sicard and the poet and writer Felipe García Quintero who will give us different views from its city vision.

How To Concieve Soon In Islam




The physical structure represents a city, but not defined. The grammar of a city, its symbols, characters, etc. replace representations showing the physical dimension built.

Today the city recovers the citizen point of view, from where each person reads it, gets up in the affections, is the place of enunciation or maybe just a mood.
Because
Popayán is much more than the urban metaphor that have created the white walls, that intimacy that evokes the yellow light of their lanterns, to the ghost town of the imagination and nostalgia,

Echo of Shadows is planning on the things unseen, but live, and tries to show and live a city marked with voices and scripts, with dynamic, accurate subjects and events that tell through a discourse that is constantly renewing itself.

Eco Shadow tells the city through the use journalistic genres such as the chronicle, the story, life stories, among others, will be accompanied by photographs that rescue the face of the other part of the city.

All this is combined in a speech renewed every week, the same will be done this by means of a radio embedded in the page, on which construction can contribute to rescuing the faces of the shadow and making your call transferred to the echo.
