Where do we come from? Elyla asks this question recognizing that, in Chontales, Nicaragua, there remains a profound erasure about the ancestry, cosmovision, and culture of their ancestors. Chontales comes from the Nahuatl chontalli, which means “strange, strange, foreign, out of place.” In trying to reconstruct their ancestry, they begin their project “Chontalli here, chontalli there; pilgrimage for an amatory of the not belonging” which they inaugurate with the performance Yugo Chontal. The action was carried out in Panama because, in their own country, they cannot carry out interventions in public spaces. With this installation and video-performance they build an open archive which, in a subjective, broken, and embodied way, opens a creative possibility, an exercise that goes beyond the idea of political borders to understand the world differently, a shared world that expands the affections and blurs the sense of belonging.
