Grietas en la Realidad
Grietas en la Realidad is a community-based research project, developed together with El Desacato, that asks how cultural practices which defy the established order can become paths to inclusion, recognition and collective well-being.
We document the voices, gestures, aesthetics and narratives of the participants of “El Desacato”, which reveal how difference can also be a source of creation. More than a study, it was a shared territory: a critical and festive space where academia meets art and community, reframing the marginal as a source of cultural and social innovation.
Each podcast episode and the documentary is a gateway to understanding how art and community can reshape what we mean by well-being, identity and belonging.
With the support of the School of Management of Universidad de los Andes, as part of the project “Socially Unacceptable Services as Heterotopias: A community-based Research Study on Well-being” by Oscar Naranjo Del Giudice.

ALL EPISODES ARE IN SPANISH
We introduce the Caribbean as a unique space of cultural connection, where exploring and reclaiming our roots can be a source of well-being and vitality.
We explore how the costume becomes an interplay of alter egos that allows us to discover our essence and express it to the world.
We look at the party as a space of encounter, where feelings are expressed through celebration and hierarchies dissolve.
Our body is the first territory we inhabit, the channel through which we feel, create and transform ourselves. We explore how movement allows us to inhabit our bodies in order to be reborn, reframe and manifest our reality.
DOCUMENTARY: LA ÚLTIMA GRIETA
Carnival is the territory that resists being sold. Through body and space, dissident collectives of the Barranquilla Carnival devour the logics that seek to commodify it and turn them into living memory. We document how these collectives reinvent their own continuity, generation after generation, without asking permission.
EXHIBITION: PASANDO BIEN, HABLANDO MAL
An exhibition of the work of Felipe Cuéllar (co-founder of El Desacato) and El Desacato.
