Mujeres de Negro

 I saw a cool performance today where this activist group of women called "Mujeres de Negro" laid a huge sheet of green plastic down in the middle of a park and then put soil on it in rows. Then, they planted seeds and placed corn ears on top, then this guy with a suit came and kindof gave them money to get them to throw the corn away and then he became the "proprietary" and made them work for him, brought armed fellows to watch over the women and made them plant non edible plants like palm trees (which they of course just carried from the side), people came and fumigated them later etc... It was mostly acting, but it was very visually oriented. I was excited. I've decided I'm going to make a report on performance art here in Medellín and try to publish it in the US.
