CULTURE & TRADITION
On the surface, Ima’s mountain is a wave of rock between the high ridges
more than four thousand metres in the Peruvian Andes. But even mountains
have a heart, and hers is all gold. Ima is a petite woman who
fights a great battle: she has decided to resist
defend her home and stop mining in the sacred Andean land.
She thought she had won when she became the symbol of that struggle but
now, the spotlight turned off, she is left alone, hostage to the battle of the mountain and her heart of gold. From the myth of Atahualpa to the arrival of the Spaniards, the bearded white men led by Pizarro, from Andean cosmogony to the contradictions of modernity, this story teaches us that wealth is not an absolute value.
On the side is the photographic exhibition "luz de Lucha by Stefano Stranges.
Giulia Vola journalist and writer, collaborates with daily and weekly newspapers. A theatre author, she has staged the shows L’Ikea vende più della Bibbia and Fallisci e sei morto at the Teatro Garybaldi in Settimo Torinese and at the Cavallerizza Reale of the Teatro Stabile di Torino circuit. With Acquario he published Fallisci e sei morto (2021).
Stefano Stranges is an Italian photographer and independent photojournalist. His shots capture the harsh realities gripping contemporary society, from exploitation to civil wars, from disasters caused by natural catastrophes to climate change issues.
