This is an editorial project developed with the participation of the Colombian diaspora in Berlin. Over five sessions, ten people came together to explore memories of the violence in Colombia through the body and poetry. During workshops in collaboration with the artist Camila Ivana Vargas about body expression, active listening, writing, poetry and bookbinding, the participants produced poems and letters that were turned into a book.

At the end, the group bound the pages of the books one by one with colored threads and paper clips. Each book has a hand-made French binding with three different colors. Its layout proposes different reading directions, inviting readers to explore different perspectives on topics like violence and migration, as well as body movements while reading.
