Rosamaría Bolom
Immigrant, feminist, transdisciplinary artist, and cultural worker. Throughout her artistic and personal journey, she has discovered that art and community are the pillars of her path. Pillars that have led her to delve deeper into the concept of human dignity and what it means to be a woman in times of globalization.
The memories of the train trips we took to visit my grandmother, on the other side of the Sierra Madre Occidental, live on in my imagination.
Motorized memories is a Video-poem worked during the "Video Poetry Marathon of Hack your Heritage" in collaboration with Sivuvalo Project at Aalto University.

RECUERDOS MOTORIZADOS
Viajar en tren
remontarse sobre rieles
hacia una ayer lleno de imágenes
de montañas, valles y desiertos
contemplando desde la ventana
un largo sendero de río
de vida
fluyendo entre los límites de Montenegro y Belgrado
Viajar en tren
expreso nocturno cargado
de rumores metálicos
con reflejos de luna
oscuridad de una noche cualquiera
luego del solsticio de verano
Viajar en tren
para volver a encontrar
los rostros del ayer
