Carabalí

I was about seven years old the first time someone called me \"black\" on the street. I turned around to see who they were talking to, until I realized they were talking to me.

During colonial times, Nyanga was kidnapped from the coasts of Africa, brought to Mexico and enslaved. Even though he was forced to work at another man’s estate, he never stopped dreaming of freedom. Based on historical events and using shadow play techniques, “Nyanga” is an homage to the many resistances against the shackles of colonialism.
