Art as a Form of Protest – Peru<\/strong><\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]As all neighboring countries of Peru are stuck or have been stuck in violent protests recently, Peru seems calm. Cajamarca, known for its huge protests to stop the mining project of Conga, seems calm.<\/p>\n

Those protests happened only about 7 years ago, in 2011 and 2012, and still have a special taste in everyone\u2019s mouth. Everyone in Cajamarca today has lived them profoundly. Everyone has somehow been part of the cruel protests. But looking at Cajamarca now, it seems like the idea of protesting has died. It seems like people have quietly accepted legal and illegal mining activity in the region. For example, there seems to be no reaction to the new mining project Michiquillay of the company Southern Copper, which they hope to start using in 2022. And there is very little reaction to the contamination of the Valle de Condebamba, where vegetables most Cajamarquinos eat get produced and are severely contaminated with toxic metals.<\/p>\n

Why is that? Why do people stay calm? Is it because there are too many protests in Peru? Because they got tired? Because of the number of social conflicts that never get resolved? Because of the 279 people that died defending human rights until 2018 in Peru? Because of the horrible criminalization of protests in Peru in all its forms \u2013 both direct attacks as methods like states of emergency? Because of the memory of the horrible protests in 2012?<\/p>\n

All very good reasons to not take to the streets anymore. But the truth is \u2013 the protests have never really stopped. They have just taken different forms.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

\n

Silent protests<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Calm, silent protests are happening everywhere. Protesting doesn\u2019t mean aggression. Protesting means showing how things can be different, making people think, for example through art, photo exhibitions, music, whatever you feel like. Protesting can be as silent or as violent as you want it to be. It\u2019s your fight.<\/p>\n

So yes, people in Cajamarca \u2013 or in Peru \u2013 might be tired of protest marches. It\u2019s easy to see that the protest marches for women rights are smaller every year. The three climate change actions we\u2019ve organized this year shrunk every time, and in June, when bull fights came back to Cajamarca after years, we were just a small group screaming outside of the arena holding up cardboards and getting laughed at.<\/p>\n

But almost no one came to see the bull fights. The stadium was empty, which made the government cancel the second day of fights. And isn\u2019t that a sign that Cajamarca doesn\u2019t want bull fights anymore? Isn\u2019t just not showing up a form of protest too? Isn\u2019t silent protest, protest too?[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”12497″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

\n

Cross boundaries<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Protest is what you want it to be. And using art as a form of protest isn\u2019t something new. In fact, it represents the way of protesting in Peru. In the world. And all through history.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s said that art as a form of protest or activism was first seen with Dada, an anti-war movement which openly outed critiques to the First World War. Picasso protested with paintings based on for example the Spanish Civil War. The Vietnam War formed a base for many works of art in the sixties, and also gender issues, feminism, immigrant problems, and so on, got addressed through art. And then we haven\u2019t even mentioned Banksy yet with all his work on all kinds of global issues, or the Russian feminist punk-rock band Pussy Riot that dealt with themes as feminism, freedom of speech, LGBT+ rights, etcetera, through their music.<\/p>\n

Art is political, and art can be a powerful weapon. Art can make you think about things you hadn\u2019t thought about before. Art can make a political statement, can be some sort of critique on a political or social situation. Art often looks up boundaries, or crosses them.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”12488″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

\n

Art and activism<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Also during the awful protests against mining project Conga in 2011 and 2012, art was used. The Plaza de Armas in Cajamarca changed into an art gallery, there were concerts, people were singing and dancing on the street. The Marcha del Agua towards Lima was beautiful with everyone singing together. And that has never stopped. That\u2019s still part of Peru\u2019s \u2013 or Cajamarca\u2019s \u2013 culture. Art is protest.<\/p>\n

As Carlos, founder of an environmental organization in Cajamarca says: \u201cArt has a great impact on people. People get conscious about the environment, and on top of that about the beauty of the art and the people.\u201d Art has an incredibly creative power to move people emotionally, while activism sets a goal, shows us the social or political change we need to see in the world. Art moves a feeling, while activism creates an effect. And in order to make that change, in order to get that effect, we need some sort of stimulation. We need to be moved. Emotionally. Art and activism combined, can lead to many, many things.<\/p>\n

On top of that, art used as a form of protest, outside of actual protest marches or political spaces, gets you a surprise effect. It makes people think about serious, maybe political, issues, without them maybe realizing it. It gets in your mind, and slowly, gets you to that effect activism wants to reach.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”12491″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_single_image image=”12485″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

\n

Changing minds<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Murals for example, big paintings on walls, are widely used as a form of protest or activism in Cajamarca and in Peru. In the province of Celend\u00edn the streets are full of colourful walls. And also in Cajamarca the city is covered in painted walls, leaving powerful messages. Something we could already see in the beginning of the 20th<\/sup> century in Mexico.<\/p>\n

And I have to admit, while painting one of those murals, thinking about the load of work waiting for me on my desk, I did think to myself that I could use my time better. That I could actually do something useful to help the environment, instead of just paint. That I shouldn\u2019t waste my time painting a wall with a message probably no one would read. But was I wrong. All the people passing by that day stopped to check out our message. To see what it was about. And still very often, as I walk passed that wall, I see people talking about the painting. Maybe the mural didn\u2019t gain the change immediately. But it is changing people\u2019s minds, slowly, daily, firmly.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”12482″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]The same happened when we used a beautiful Cajamarcan tradition as a form of activism. On Corpus Christi, the whole Plaza de Armas gets covered in alfombras<\/em>, or flower carpets. We focused on animal rights and protested against the bull fights with our carpet, whereas some others used it to address gender inequality, for example. And in between the beautiful art works, those pieces of art showing some sort of social or political issue, were the alfombras <\/em>where most people stood around, discussing what they saw. Not what was actually there, but what they saw<\/em>, what it meant to them, what they understood the message was. It made people rethink their own actions.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”12470″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

\n

Happiness in protest<\/strong><\/h4>\n

And that\u2019s not all. Ecological fairs keep popping out of the ground like mushrooms, focusing on economic alternatives to mining and environmental issues, and that way making passengers-by think about the impact of mining activity without them realizing that\u2019s what it\u2019s about. Wakes are organized to mourn the death of our environment, combined with a beautiful piano concert, to focus on environmental issues in a different way. Theatres are held all through town showing the effects of gender inequality or climate change. Movie nights focusing on social themes are a big thing.<\/p>\n

The lyrics to the typical cheerful carnival music of Cajamarca get changed to songs defending human rights and are being sung whenever the opportunity shows.<\/p>\n

A few weeks ago a protest action was held at Cerro Quilish. Only about 30 people showed up, hiking to the top of the mountain from where you could look out over Yanacocha. But those 30 people brought up their giant speaker, singing and dancing their way up. And after the talk on top of the mountain, the volume of that same speaker was turned up a bit more.<\/p>\n

People opened their bags, uncovering bowls of food, giving everyone a spoonful of whatever they had brought. Sharing. Dancing. Singing. Turning a protest into a beautiful moment together, showing their strength, their traditions, their bond. Showing they are one. Unstoppable. Finding happiness in protest.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”12473″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_single_image image=”12476″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

\n

Beautiful protests<\/strong><\/h4>\n

There\u2019s loads of centers that open their doors for all kind of social movement or activity, for free, supporting artists. There\u2019s a cultural magazine made entirely by volunteers that also hold events every few weeks addressing for example topics as cultural identity, traditions, history. There\u2019s movies or poetry in Quechua to make people rethink their roots and history. There\u2019s dozens of bands in Cajamarca singing about animal rights or human rights or violence against women or any topic you can think of.<\/p>\n

Lots of youth organizations take charge and organize fun activities for all ages such as actions on recycling with quiz questions and prices to win. Photo exhibitions focus on what nature should look like and shows the work of different human and environmental right defenders.<\/p>\n

Of course, protesting is hard in Peru. And it’s sad that there’s still so much to protest about. But at least we know it will always be here, in its own way. And protesting can be so, so beautiful.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s resistance. There\u2019s hope. In all its forms. Don\u2019t underestimate the power of art. And don\u2019t underestimate Cajamarca.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”12494″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
