Description
Presented by Nancy Gómez, professor at Universidad del Norte (Colombia)
This presentation examines how combining films about memory with the photovoice method allows participants to express their experiences about historical events, creating alternative narratives that challenge official accounts. It focuses on Llosa's film, The Milk of Sorrow, which illustrates how Quechuan women pass on their fears of sexual assault from the 1980s conflict to their children through breastfeeding.
