maine new york times and called crazy and
gala I had anything I’ve seen it
you have not understood lage and I would like
know what I’m saying because what
just said is what we do all
day
translate translate our culture
African Senegalese Spanish culture
and Western Europe would be easier
talk to me and one of my more
family but today I will speak in
Spanish because for me is one of the
Adoption languages
with French thierry in English as
I said before that my Wolof
presentation
hello my name Chila coli come from
SENEGAL and I am citizen of the world
I want to share with us because
I’m here and a little bit of my culture
always when I ask how
long have you been here 16 years
I’m living in Spain
first thing they tell me without giving him time
to answer because I am here because
I question is not directly say
lucky you are to be here than bad
It’s just in Africa
I usually get me a little thoughtful is
but to say that Africa tell me
Africa speaks to me but never chávez
I run out to respond to Africa not
is a country is a continent with more than
50 countries and Senegal where I come
It is one of those countries with their
wonders
If it is true to say there is a part
negative but it is not what defines the
continent
hence my work is because I am here
it shows that you are given very bad despite
being the eldest of ten children not what
It involved in culture and it legalizes
decision – making be an example of your
brothers
sometimes a nightmare but good
O’Connor took what was
I noticed these repeated questions
Sometimes I realized I had to do
something had to be presented in another
shape and that what was needed
people needed their part
I know where I come from and do not look at me
with pity because it hurts do not
I wanted to give and decided to organize a
event and this started a late
office where he worked for before
He worked at a French bank madrid
I decided to send an event or say a
detailed the municipality of the project
escorial City Hall to see
if I use the square authorizes dinner
public and organize the event and had
an answer and a pleasant surprise
who agreed and gave me the
authorization and also put my
asking everything available
He needed so that those would make
reality and thus organize first event
for me it had a connotation year
a load of inter
important and I could muster in that act
African music live music
storytellers with a man from Cameroon
who came yoy literary gathering with
different poets from different countries
a photo exhibition
It was a Spanish photographer but
The photos were taken in Africa and
fashion show I liked that part
a lot because we presented uu
as decided from there even though they were
small scale are given there but
with a design or cut very here
so that people would realize that
African fabrics is not only
pierre black thing that usually go
I used today because it is changing today
Also today these fabrics will
you black skin we do not
Good thing is changing and it was a
I will finish successfully but ended up exhausted
that day because I was running to go
realized I needed more training
and immediately I pointed me to a course
events management organization
great wine for the next
editions of this event the truth out
there and I realized that something
changed because of what he wanted
people and start counting began
me with us that was not already in
Typical questions were not going and
started organizing events to
to keep track with
project created a blog with regard to
what do I have done my husband and
there also continue to networks
social and hitherto but all
in 2015 changed one afternoon when
the office was suddenly hit me
that has since come time
but not because he has to say has
are not caused circumstances
life or fate same as would my
mother but I went to the bank after
eight years
and I decided it was time to open a
Store not store any like
I do not know a store or
space because I liked to call
space where he could continue
transmitting what I like to
It is also sculpture and where power
collaborate and change the idea that people
the continent has the floor
African rímac say or disasters
as they often sell for me rhyme
with good cheer does not rhyme with the law
but they should or not but I am now
we are achieving slowly with
help of many collaborators
now they tell us such as
foundations, associations or companies
private and also not there in Africa
we have more people to our
around
not only the family but also
friends and people between economies
relate to the sector that
we are moving to is the culture and
craftswoman not always with regard to
the continent
now I go blank low
for me this project goes beyond
what is that you succeed at the level
economic has to do with my delta and
affirm what I am and what I can
bring to my people who are my
not about whether it is possible to go further
if I may walk when one
enters the space colors the world
It realizes that the textile is very has a
privileged place for me is very
important what we are doing and
that occasionally traveled to Senegal
for this issue and not my last traveled
two months ago
I saw something that caught my
attention and reinforced back which is the
situation of change that is sticking
to
the life of the Senegalese African woman
he is her in her in this case did not see
women say no longer is waiting
to tell you where you can go or what
you can do the opposite is
taking important decisions elbow
man side with him and and he has
I accepted to be working
together for me this is very important
because it was not so very recently 12
I turned right and included that is
You can do very well as we can
negotiate face to face not me I liked
the issue is important textile
as I said in my job because
I want to convey through fabrics
African as industrial or
craft cultural connotation
It is leading important because through
fabrics can know a primarily a
culture if one pays much attention
when it comes to fabrics
African often tend to draw
directly think of the stool or
exemplary and because there are prints
amazing to think fabrics
fax typically are dinners
known with its most used prints
In the continent
wherever you go in the encontrás
markets in houses and have the truth
one identity
Today culturally rooted not but
Names can also be changed by
here bats sometimes call load or
capul ana in mozambique then but
Ditto and glass
We also have the serum as Iago
Iago is a tissue for me today to declare it
I say because I like me at my wedding
They put it is also a fabric having
a very traditional representation and
symbolic in our society is a
Guinea Bissau original fabric
although nowadays it can be found at
senegal burkina Ivory Coast but
It is a fabric visa
naval line and is called blue and Iago and
the ethnicity that weaves are the spot
-which I invite you to seek is a
little internet to know this
very interesting people now jump
Malian into with ruffles
the bold and the holy picture does not do it
but justice is an impressive fabric
It means tissue balls wonderful
mud because the dyeing process is
made with the leaves and roots mud
mali Bambara call it like
his second skin so I will not
cyclops intervening days for
so you have to know we had petit
committee
but a person is a tissue that
It connotes one
representation of all a culture all
EPIA will command the steering wheel that is
also he is not very
because it is known and used ghana
rather for royalty win jensen
It is not well known but in the
events is typical of this country
South ghana is now seen but
related to royalty wins and is
it because all this I speak of
tissues to say that we in
our work everyday
We use these fabrics and also
I have not had time to teach us that
our use in our creations
garment decoration but
take cultural importance
They are not behind but trying to do
a kind of cultural miscegenation bringing
the culture there and get him or
incorporating into the culture here
by interbreeding for people
Learn the history behind
each garment or item touched or
that’s not me teach was again
[Applause]
and already we have a senegal in Senegal
I said we have a saying in all
In addition centers in all ethnic groups
that we have five ethnic groups not
but all ethnicities
we have the same translation of this
It said that it would seem as step
one can and achieving what is proposed or
which is looking for and giving tradition
and it gives you that day stealthily
can catch a monkey in the jungle he fell in
a value that walk would give very little
what you had and I am applying in
my job
I’m slowly trying to achieve it
I want to be this idea
intercultural
this presentation I want the
people know me do not look at me how
Here it is censused not serious saved
Thank you
[Applause]
