LENTÄVIÄ NAISIA
space poem
In 2015, news reports began to reveal the growing number of boats carrying people risking everything to escape wars.
Who could, like birds, use their wings to fly. To seek other horizons?
"Flaying Woman" was born as a reflection about dignity, hope and equal opportunities for everyone in the universe.
Lentäviä Naisia
Laulu ja tanssi elämälle
kerromme rauhasta toivosta
ja tasa-arvoisista mahdollisuuksista
Olemme yhtä aikaa tuuli, voima ja intohimo
Rytmiä, ääniä ja sanoja tuntemattomista paikoista
Monikasvoisia lentäviä naisia
jotka taistelevat omasta paikastaan maailmankaikkeudessa
Bolom
Flying Women
A song and a dance for life
we bring the message of peace, hope
and equal opportunities
We are wind, power and passion at the same time
Rhythm, voices and words from unknown places
Flying women with many faces
fighting for their place in the universe
Rosamaría Bolom

This poem led me to think of a conversational installation, where the intention is to create a group of beings, who with their bodies fly in search of a better existence.
In 2023, I was invited by Finnish-Peruvian researcher and social anthropologist, Jasmín Immonen, to be part of "Connexion-es". Project carried out in Sao Paulo, Brasil as part of the Urban Narratives program of Maria Sibylla Merian, Center Conviviality-Inequality in Latin America, MECILA.
Corpas que voam
canções e danças
em um som de paz
a esperança
da vida
somos respiração, ritmo, vontade
presença que quebra
palavra remota
migração que ninguém para
corpas voadoras
em um bando de muitos rostos
que lutam e choram
seu próprio lugar no universo
Bolom
