Retomada
by Pablo Albarenga
Description
Con esta selección fotográfica registrada entre 2016 y 2019, Pablo Albarenga nos adentra en la vida y la lucha de los pueblos indígenas de Brasil por recuperar sus territorios.
Muchos son los pueblos originarios que viven en América Latina. Los que se identifican hoy como guaraníes vivieron y transitaron en la región comprendida por Argentina, Bolivia, Brasil, Paraguay y Uruguay. Se dice que si caminamos de Uruguay a Brasil y luego a Bolivia, podríamos dormir cada noche en una tekoá distinta. Las tekoás son aldeas donde preservan su legado ancestral; tekoá significa, en lengua guaraní, la tierra sin mal, el lugar donde se lleva a cabo la forma de ser guaraní.
Estos pueblos de tierras bajas han hecho evidente una impactante capacidad para oponerse a eso que llamamos progreso. Son los que han enfrentado con mayor firmeza a las grandes obras y megaproyectos, desde la represa de Belo Monte (Brasil) hasta la carretera que atraviesa el Territorio Indígena y Parque Nacional Isiboro-Sécure (Bolivia).
Las retomadas —reocupaciones de tierras indígenas— son un retorno a lo esencial, un acto de rebeldía de los pueblos indígenas de Brasil para volver a unirse con el territorio ancestral. Estos pueblos nos interpelan sobre si somos capaces de reconocer la diferencia, de aceptar la libertad del otro, su derecho a ser y a elegir cómo vivir. Pues en su libertad se evidencian nuevos rumbos posibles que nos obligan a mirarnos en su espejo para repensarnos.
