Description of the project by Boa Mistura
My root is / my / life-mother.
There is no other poem like “No sé” by Samuel Feijoo, to express in such an impressive way the roots of cuban people. Water, rock and sun define the place and a belonging.
We proposed a project in a “community scale” touching twenty-five places in the neighborhood. One for each verse from the poem by Feijoo. Connecting people with invisible links. Pieces that can’t be understood independently but in group, because we form part of a whole.
“El Romerillo” is a humble neighborhood, built by its own people, that recreates itself everyday without losing a smile. It is as homogeneous as compact and its landscape is composed by a collage of bricks, lids of oil drums, wood pieces, domino matches, kids running, prefabricated blocks, the shadow of a mango tree, a car skeleton, tumbril full of fruits, dogs, plastered walls, music and women chatting. Infinite materials that tell us how cubans are able to draw wonderful situations.
