Aguas de estuario

Spanish

By (author): Velia Vidal

Registro epistolar del movimiento de una mujer hacia la felicidad en la comunidad negra de la costa del Pacífico colombiana.

Velia Vidal vuelve a su hogar en Chocó, a la comunidad afro-colombiana, a su familia, al mar. Es aquí donde el Pacífico se encuentra con el Caribe, y donde ella se establece nuevamente. Aguas de estuario expone un lado de una correspondencia que se extiende durante años, documentando la vuelta al hogar, y su trabajo para construir un centro literario, una carrera en la escritura, y un festival con y para la gente del lugar. Pero es también una reivindicación de su apuesta por la felicidad; un registro de su inmersión en los pueblos, ríos y bosques que conforman sus raíces; una redefinición de su relación con el sexo y el amor en tiempo real; una perspectiva sobre cómo crear algo (para la comunidad, para una misma) es una forma de abrirse paso, a través de la lectura y la escritura, hacia un lugar conocido y una nueva identidad.

An epistolary, fictional account of one woman moving towards happiness in the black community of Colombias Pacific coast.

After a long absence, Vel has come home to Chocó to the Afro-Colombian community, to her family, to the sea. This is where the Pacific meets the Caribbean, where shes establishing herself anew. And the record she keeps is a series of letters to a friend, clarifying for herself where she stands, as she describes that homecoming to another. Vel works to build a literary centre, writing career, and festival with and for the people there. But her return to Chocó is also a claim-staking of her decision to pursue happiness now; an account of her immersion in the towns and rivers and forests she came from; and a redefinition of her relationship to sex and love in real time. And Tidal Waters is a vision of how creating something (for your community, for yourself) is a way of reading and writing your way into a known place and a new self.
