Who Was the First? By: Fredy Calderón I asked myself: “How was it possible? Who could have been the first person to even think: look, if we pull this root out of the ground, peel it, boil it, mash it with salt, shape it into a ball, flatten it… and just like that, however each […]
Salt Cathedral tour from Bogotá – Colombian identity carved in salt So many times I heard this in my childhood, back in the Colombian Caribbean:“We are Catholic, Apostolic, Roman…” So many times I heard this in my childhood, back in the Colombian Caribbean. I’ve seen people whip themselves across the back… and others climb Monserrate […]

. Cities, according to what I know, can be divided into those that stir unease and thrive in chaos; some are made of nothing but concrete, and in the end, are merely that. Others, however, are steeped in art and history—guardians of treasured memories and the very essence of their origins, and of the country […]
Las ciudades se dividen, según mis saberes, en aquellas que despiertan angustia y son caóticas por excelencia; las hay llenas de concreto, pero que al final de cuentas no son más que eso. También las hay llenas de arte e historia, las que guardan como grandes tesoros los recuerdos y argumentos de sus orígenes mismos […]

For a moment, I felt like I was in Paris […]

Estábamos en un campo gigantesco, no me imaginaba esto antes de venir; sombrillas que giraban al ritmo de los tambores que parecían indicar que una gran batalla se avecinaba; la gente comenzó a alzar todo lo que tenía: bufandas del equipo y banderas de la ciudad, y lo giraban en el aire mientras se colocaban […]
I wonder if everyone who comes to Bolívar Square sits on this corner, on the steps of the majestic cathedral, so they admire it calmly, so they breathe, and watch the children playing with the pigeons, which, after a long time watching them, I’ve realized they are the undisputed owners of the place. Whenever I […]
Me pregunto si todo el que viene a la plaza de Bolívar se sienta en esta esquina, en las escaleras de la majestuosa catedral primada, para poder admirar con toda la calma, para poder respirar y ver a los niños jugando con las palomas que tras un gran rato observándolas me he percatado que son […]
