CHANGÓ

in a tower lives the god of thunder and lightning

CHANGÓ

2009 | DV | TRT: 10:15

Changó is a self-portrait inspired by my relationship with the Afro-Cuban orisha of the same name. The video documents an invented syncretic ritual in honor of Changó, the god of thunder and lightning, and leads the viewer on a journey to an internal meditative space. The ritual is an amalgamation of both folk and organized religions and an exploration of their historical and contemporary interactions.
