Agro Land Art

Representatives of the Agro Land Art, Antonio Ruano and Nazareth Garcia, Agrippinus and Protasia movement, participated in several parallel actions with the nomads installed in the area and, among them, planting several trees from the Park of del Alamillo in Seville. This sowing is part an act of twinning of the Sevillian Park closely linked to solidarity with the Western Sahara – with the Sahrawi town freed of Tifariti, which also took two taljas with destination to the city Seville. The Chief Military of Region II, Brahim Ahmed Mahmud, host of the meetings, also recalled especially to make Spanish artists will echo this complaint-that being Spanish the second official language of the Sadr, without the support of the Instituto Cervantes, unlike Morocco where there are several delegations of this organism. The language of Cervantes was precisely the one used by Almeria photographer Javier Navarrete, to edit a number of his newspaper lavozdelsahara.com, dated November 25, 2031. This publication of the future, announcing on its front page the election of a woman as President of the RASD in some elections in Western Sahara freed, was very positively received by the inhabitants of Tifariti, sedentary and nomadic, which was distributed. In conclusion, the Saharans petitioned foreign artists that they do not forget them and to disseminate their cause around the world, a commitment that have signed all before his return home. The caravan of creators landed this weekend to the Barajas airport, from which came last November 22, after having spent 15 days creating his works in situ in Tifariti (Western Sahara) and, subsequently, several days coexisting with Saharan families in the wilaya of Valls (camps of Saharawi refugees in Tindouf, Algeria).

They arrived tired, exhausted, but none has eluded a weight extra: the responsibility of transmitting the lived experience. All interventions have been documented by the photographer Pepe Caparros, the sculptress Alicia Martin, which on this occasion will be an audiovisual about ARTifariti 2008, and Carlos de Gredos and Rosa Garrido, responsible for the edition of the catalog. Emiliano Martin, Miguel Villa and Jorge Fernandez recorded audio-visual material for dissemination to the media.
