Pueblo Santo was selected as one of the seven finalist projects at the MAIX grant for XR Latam projects 2022.
The objective of this initiative is to support and empower independent Latin American creators located in Latin American countries. We recognize Latin America as a multiplicity of nationalities, native peoples, indigenous peoples, gender expressions, and other ethnic groups and identities where we are all included.
So happy to share that our VR musical project Pueblo Santo: A Cumbia Trip, has been selected for the DOK Exchange XR program at DOKLeipzig 2022. A great occasion to get insights from immersive narratives experts.

Read MoreLet’s stop and disconnect from the slaughterhouse,
let’s climb the mountain and look at the universe,
let’s do our ritual to video-call our ancestors,
and let’s record it [with the omniscient eye]
so in -a not-too-distant- future,
we will tele-rest in the virtual cavern,
and we will watch from the dark
the technological essence of our days.
“Arte y política, Lituania y América Latina, madre irreverente e hijo activista. La inimitable trayectoria de Antanas Mockus, ex-candidato a la presidencia de Colombia, habría sido imposible sin los consejos visionarios de su madre, la artista nonagenaria Nijole Sivicka. Juntos se embarcan en un viaje íntimo de descubrimiento mutuo y nos dan una lección vital llena de coraje y vulnerabilidad.
Dicen que las mejores ideas salen de mezclas insólitas, a veces desconcertantes. La creatividad también podría ser una cuestión de transmisión familiar. El director italiano Sandro Bozzolo construye un cóctel inclasificable e inspirador que nos adentra hacia un viaje íntimo a las profundidades de sus vidas. Del presente marcado por la fragilidad de sus cuerpos, a las raíces lituanas que Nijole tuvo que dejar atrás, descubrimos dos historias vitales extraordinarias.”
