El último pago
The composition is divided into two clearly differentiated scenes. On the left are three figures, two of whom are dressed in formal attire, while the third is a police officer. Holding a sign with the inscription "200 contributions", these individuals represent the tax collectors. In contrast, on the right-hand side, we observe a man standing next to a seated woman, whose posture suggests a state of extreme fatigue, almost slipping to the ground. The woman's clothing includes espadrilles, a ruana and a hat, elements that denote her Indigenous origin. In the centre of this scene, a human skeleton gives its skin to the men on the right. -
Historia gráfica de la lucha por la tierra
Cover image: The cover of a book, titled “Graphic history of the fight for land [rights] in the Atlantic coastal [region of Colombia]”. The drawings are attributed to Ulianov Chalarka and the book itself to Fundación del Sinú. The cover shows four title pages, each relating to short stories in the book. They are titled: “Tinajones: a village fighting for its land”; “El Boche: a rebel peasant farmer from the Sinú”; “Lomagrande: the bastion of the Sinú”; “Felicita Campos: the woman peasant farmer fighting for land”. Second Image: An individual page from the story about Felicita Campos narrates a confrontation in which a landowner is ordering his workers and tenant farmers to mark their own cattle with his brand. Felicita protests and tries to organise resistance in the face of threats. She is then arrested by the police, on the pretext that she and her community are invaders on the landowner’s property.
