View Rights PortalSeven Crows & Eight Stories gathers together, as its title says, eight stories in which children are protagonists: intelligent children; some mischievous, some rogue, some disobedient; and if there is a common characteristic, it is all naivety. Buitrago has the virtue of understanding very well the world of children and of speaking to them equally. The fears, the joys of children, are well known by the author and proof of this are his texts, where he depicts a very original representation of childhood and reality. These stories about everyday life are very humorous and will make more than one reader finish with a smile. The illustrations of Mayorga, of free stroke and, therefore, very expressive, show us the different scenarios and characters that make up that universe created by Buitrago.
Jairo Buitrago and Rafael Yockteng, two of the most celebrated authors of picture books in Latin-America, brought us Lion and mouse a new version of this classic tale of an improbable friendship. Lion is a big, beautiful beast, while Mouse is a little and cranky rodent. First, they will hate each other but, in time, they will become the best pals, not because they make each other lots of favors… After all, that’s not what friendship is about, ¿is it?
This book encourages us to contemplate and enjoy every detail of our daily life, from the perspective of a small boy who stops to ponder about the things that make up his home and their inhabitants.
On each page, different children disguise and hide. Sometimes to reach a cookie, others to read their favorite book and some more not to eat vegetables. A book that invites children to discover that not everything is what it seems.
Many schools around the world have playgrounds, gyms, computers, lots of teachers, school libraries, and all sorts of other equipment. But not this school that is set amongst remote mountains next to a stream. As the girl who tells us this story says, “Our school has almost nothing. A blackboard, some chairs. It has a teacher. She’s always there. She stands in the doorway and waits for us every morning.” And this teacher is not like any other. A day spent drawing outdoors—drawing astounding, spectacular creatures—would make any child desperately wish to go to this incredibly special school. And to be taught by this extraordinary teacher. And who is to say this can’t happen anywhere?
This book is an initiative of the Regional Groups of Historical Memory (GRMH), which, together with the National Center for Historical Memory since 2013, generated proposals for the construction of historical memory in Colombia. The objective of the consolidation of the GRMH has been to recognize local research processes carried out by university professors to build bridges between the country's institutions and communities victimized in the framework of the internal armed conflict in Colombia. Although the participatory social research bets are nourished by multiple edges, disciplines, and schools of thought, there are methodological peculiarities in the investigations that are formulated in the key of historical memory that, on this occasion, are transversal and are deepened in each chapter.
Este libro ha querido poner de relieve el cruce de caminos en la historia del diseño en Latinoamérica e interrogar ese lugar pleno de diversidades. Como resultado de un proceso consciente, se ofrecen diez ensayos escritos por autores provenientes de las instituciones universitarias más destacadas de la región que abordan, en primera instancia, la historiografía del diseño —en un sentido amplio— en México, Venezuela, Colombia, Chile, Brasil y Argentina.
When Lola the fly finds a mountain of poop, she sticks her flag in it and declares, “This poop is mine!” She’s so happy she has her own pile of poop… until Fiona the fly lands on her poop and declares, “This poop is mine!” Lola and Fiona have the battle of a lifetime as they try to decide who this poop belongs to. Who will win the fight for the big poop? Or can the two flies find some way to say, “This poop is OURS!”?
Horizontes culturales de la historia del arte. Aportes para una acción compartida en Colombia da cuenta de reflexiones que van desde los silencios u omisiones en la historia del arte, pasando por las conexiones complejas entre estética e historia del arte, hasta las vicisitudes de su práctica en el museo o lugares alternativos. También examina la memoria del arte como nuevo modo de representación, relectura y construcción de subjetividad.
¿Quiénes son los Centennials? ¿Qué esperan del mundo? ¿Cuales son sus metas, sus sueños? ¿Qué posición tienen frente a la vida? Y, tal vez lo más importante, ¿Cómo comunicarse con ellos? En tiempos en los que los jóvenes son nativos digitales, este estudio en colaboración entre Sancho BBDO y la Universidad de Bogotá Jorge Tadeo Lozano espera despejar algunas de estas preguntas en un lenguaje para baby boomers, genaración X y millenials pueden también entender.
