The syllable “Ia” appears as a root in several words in the Jê language spoken by the kaypó people in Brazil. While images of the suburbs of a Brazilian town is shown, some of these indigenous words are spoken by an anonymous voice, referring to what would be some of the legacy of the colonisation process.
Colón: ¿Culo o Conquista? is curated by Dick Verdult / Dick El Demasiado. By way of The One Minutes, Dick Verdult had a message sent to anthropologists, artists and his Latin American followers, inviting them to make short films in the theme of Colón: ¿Culo o Conquista? Colón is the Spanish name for Columbus; the title can be interpreted as Colon: ass or conquest?
