El Boga Residency
During the residency, I plan to advance the writing of a non-fiction book. The book is a reconstruction of the adventures of a Nazi agent and war criminal who lived his last years in Colombia, sheltered by oblivion and a new identity. It is a sort of espionage thriller that recreates the Cold War era in Colombia.
In Mompox, I will start a map of the city, constructed from soundscapes. This will involve students and audiophiles from the region. We will work with both professional equipment and phone technology and a collaborative web platform.
