2020 vídeo (first week of extreme represión quarentene here in Venezuela):
MY POEM:
Behind the Mask:
This situation has taken away great friends, neighbors and relatives, many of them very dear to us.
I always think of them and remember them, as well as my empty city, repressed by the cruel dictatorship that overwhelms us.
Trucks full of police with megaphones repressing and shouting and with baseball bats breaking faces and hitting those who did not wear masks while they laughed and recorded such atrocity on video.
All that happened here, all that and more.... The streets empty and lonely. You didn't hear about it because the information doesn't come out of here.
You didn't hear about it, right, here we are inside a prison in a labyrinth of darkness and indolence, loneliness. My streets are no longer the same. The ultra-violence continues because I live in the land of Mad Max, my streets are not the same, they are more terrifying cause you are not here.
In the world the pandemic was strong. I invite you to live it in a country with a repressive dictatorship, without food, without medicine, without friends and without family, that's how I feel and almost nothing has changed, really the only way out is to breathe under the mask waiting for the day to end...
Nahu Padilla 2021
In spanish for my comunity:
Detrás de la máscara:
Está situación se ha llevado grandes amigos, vecinos y familiares, muchos de ellos bastante apreciados.
Siempre los pienso y los recuerdo, así como mi ciudad vacía y reprimida por la cruel dictadura que nos agobia.
Camiones llenos de policías con megafonos reprimiendo y gritando y con bates de béisbol partiendole las caras y pegándole a los que no utilizaban tapabocas mientras reían y grababan tal atrocidad en video.
Todo eso ocurrió aquí, todo eso y más... Las calles vacías y en soledad. Tu no te enteraste porque de aquí la información no sale.
Tu no te enteraste verdad, acá estamos presos en un laberinto de oscuridad y desidia, soledad. Ya mis calles no son las mismas. Continúa la ultraviolencia porque vivo en la tierra del loco Max, mis calles no son iguales, son más terroríficas porque tú tampoco estás aquí.
En el mundo la pandemia fue fuerte. Te invito a vivirla en un país con dictadura represiva, sin comida, sin medicinas, sin amigos y sin familia, así me siento y casi nada ha cambiado, realmente la única salida es respirar bajo la máscara esperando que finalice el día...
