Book Presentation | Útica: Under the Murmuring Waters | w Elizabeth Gallón Droste & ~pes

We are delighted to present the publication "Útica: Under the Murmuring Waters" by artist and researcher Elizabeth Gallón Droste! The new riso-printed edition of the book, published by Oreri - Iniziativa Editoriale, comes in an English-Spanish bilingual version and contains the artist's words as well as two texts by Michael Taussig and Catalina Restrepo.

The artist will talk about the book in conversation with the publishers Andrea Garcés and Luca Carboni, and will add a sonic dimension to the publication as part of a sonic reading together with Pablo Torres Gómez as ~pes.

Útica is a journey through the inner landscapes of a village located in the Colombian Andes that has been bathed and shaped by a river and its brook since its foundation. Through photographs, conversations, and childhood memories, Elizabeth Gallón Droste navigates the lives and absences that inhabit the landscape of Útica, and remembers the stories that reverberate in the incessant murmuring of its waters.
