Since early August 2015 and for 150 days on the ground, the camera of thephotojournalist Javier Bauluz travels with mothers, fathers and childrenseeking for a safe place to live during their long trip towards the heart ofEurope.
The route starts from the arrival at the islands of Lesbos and Kos, in Greece,where they land after a short and dangerous cruise across the Aegean from thecoast of Turkey. Once in continental Europe the journey of syrian, afghan andiraqi families continues through Greece, Macedonia, Serbia, Hungary, AustriaGermany, Holland and France.
A long and difficult way by foot following the train tracks, through trails,motorways, on bus or on board obsolete and old Balkan railways.
The fact that the protagonists are parents and children favors empathy andviewer identification with this people who, like any of us, run away from war tosave their lives and their children’s.
Bauluz focuses on emotions, crucial moments and personal relationships thatshow us universality that makes us humans and equals.

War in Siria
Ricardo Garcia Vilanova (Barcelona, 1971) is the only graphic journalist that has been in Syrian conflict from the beginning. In November 2011, during “arabic springs” he got infiltrated in Jabal al-Zawiya, in Idlib province, and he were there during the firsts demonstrations against Bashar al-Asad regime.
People were afraid of Mujabarat (the regime police) and, being afraid of the fact that their pictures could be identified in the newspaper they only allowed children to be photographed.
During his time there he could testify how the repressor regime broke up demonstrations using snipers, and militar tanks after.
Civil population were facing a modern army that attacked them with heavy artillery from helicopters and airplanes, with Scud missiles and even chemical weapons.
This riots become in a war of several factions and only a victim: civil population, forced to fight to survive.
Finally, DAESH spreading in Syria and Iraq has changed this conflict again.
This group of around forty pictures and nine videos shows the evolution of the conflict where civil population was never respected and has caused 415.00 deaths until now and over seven millions of displaced people.

Documentary photographer. Sometimes I also write or record video, always in search of documenting situations that catch my attention, usually because of injustice. In this area I work as “freelance” that damn word that wiped out rights and security for journalists. The advantage is that freedom is total, despite the fact that making a report means searching funds in different ways. For this reason, I also work for weddings business and organizing cultural events as well.
I regularly work with the newspaper Gara, and I have also published in other national and some international media.

Bashar Alale, new life in Europe
Bashar Alale is a 25 year old Syrian boy who left his native city of Maarat an Numan in August 2015 to escape the civil war that has been raging in Syria for more than six years. Like others, he did it alone and moved by despair and the search for a future in peace.
He crossed the Aegean Sea by boat from Turkey to the Greek coast and crossed the Balkans route to Rostock, Germany, where he now lives in a reconverted residence in a refugee shelter. “On the trip I risk my life, but it was worth it“, he confesses. He was lucky, only a few months later they closed the borders after the European Union agreed with Turkey in March 2016. “I am happy here, I have met many people and the city is beautiful, but I pray for the war to end and I can come back and reunited with my family“.

SAVING FAMILY AT LEAST
I arrived at Greece on May 22, 2016 when Idomeni camp was just being evacuated. Idomeni was a camp were thousands of people survived while they waited their chance to pass the border to Macedonia to be able to reach Germany or Nederland.
All the families that couldn´t access Idomeni camp, were waiting in other camps, Eko, Hara, BP nearby. Thousands of people that flee from war, surviving in small camp tents gave by NGOs or in bigger tents gave by bigger NGOs.
When I arrived for the first time to the camp what surprised me the most was the large amount of children that swarmed around and I realized that most of them were families of working people that had lost everything, clinging to the hope of a new life for their children, that precious good. Their resolution to save their families hold their energy.
They are not invaders, nor terrorist, they are just families fleeing from terror, fleeing from the invasion imposed by world powers, and also Europe and Spain, that are fighting an indecent battle to control the area, destroying their homes, their works, their schools, their lives.
This portrait collection is about what I saw and I felt there, families of working people that were snatched away from their lives.

Violent borders
There’s a cruel and unfair war between those who accumulate wealth, not interested in redistribution and those who rightfully wish to access the same rights and opportunities as the privileged society. The obsession of accumulating wealth increasingly in the hands of fewer people won’t stop, and for this reason more and more safety walls and fences are built up to prevent what is felt as a threat, allowing capitals to move across borders while preventing people from doing the same.
The badly named “European Union” was built not to remove borders and allow freedom of movement but to lift up new external borders to keep us away from them. These external borders have only increased, and are now larger, more dangerous, more expensive and deadlier. Its construction was duly financed on behalf of international cooperation, fight against terrorism or migration flows control.
The stories showed in photographs’ selection started at the beginning of year 2000 but the cruelty of borders started long before. Since societies started their modern development they enacted migratory laws that imposed barriers to foreign nationals, but probably never before those walls cost so many lives as in the past decades.
Crossing the Atlantic Ocean to arrive the Canary Islands was already deadly in the late 90’s. So it was to cross the Straits of Gibraltar from Morocco, to jump over the fences in Ceuta and Melilla, challenge border guards – whether Moroccans or Spanish – and to cross the Channel Tunnel, as seen in these pictures.
Nobody should allow the massive cemetery that the sea has become for a long time now, specially keeping in mind that people who cross it are already fleeing dead. Some people have been living in that Void that exists either side of the border for years, in the forests near our cities, in places that are legal limbos full of pain. Some families will never know the whereabouts of their loved ones. There are graves with no names on them and endlessly disrupted lives.
The fact that after 30 years of unceasing deaths in our borders we don’t demand responsibilities is despairing. No one seems to work to truly guarantee that someday all people will be able to exercise their right to move freely and choose the country in which they want to live, work and create their families. All the pledges of Human Rights are also stranded like those lives in the Void of the borders.

European fence
The border that separates Europe from Africa – welfare from despair –between Morocco and Melilla Spain, is 12 kilometers long, six meters high, consists of a triple fence with motion sensors and infrared cameras, and is guarded by the army and police on both sides, 24 hours a day.
Despite the fortifications hundreds of young Africans try every night to jump over the fence of their last frontier, after a long and arduous journey to Europe. Many young men have died in their attempt to get over the wall, and many are injured by the razor sharp blades that are embedded in it, while Moroccan and Spanish police wait to detain them on each side.
This work performed by Sergi Camara for more than ten years and more than thirty times travelling to Melilla and Morocco shows that everything remain the same or even worse concerning human right violation in south border.

We are living in war, a period of terrorist attacks, of no sense, of death, of flights, and also a period of politics. We live surrounded by fences, cultures, religions and even families. Geographic and political barriers are absolutely questionable when we speak about survival, when horror looks you in the eye there is only one chance, to move forward.
Syrian conflict begins its seventh year and figures of its consequences are devastating. Civil population live in constant horror fighting from terror and death, finding barriers in their ways, and political decisions that far from helping them make injustice and inequality more evident just because they want to live.
Children don´t attend their lessons, don’t eat in a healthy way, they don´t have medicines, they don´t play… they are just freezing while they wait or they run away… and meanwhile Europe is scared…. scared enough not to open their fences, scared of terrorist attacks,
scared of unemployment, scared of high mortgages and scared of risk bonuses.
In this context, Ali Ali, Syrian artist settled in A Coruña for more than ten years intends to be the voice of their compatriots though his personal fight in art. Ali Ali has been working for more than a year in this project that´s meant to be the most important of his career: a multidisciplinary exposition made by photography, engraving, painting, sculpture and music. He will use it as a weapon to condemn Syrian refugee’s situation in Europe, claiming for his memories as a child and teenager and adult in Syria not to fade away forever.
This exposition will be inaugurated during the first half of June in Palexco Expositions Hall, in A Coruña.

THE FRONTIER SEA
HUMAN INTERVENTION AROUND MIGRATIONS
Numbers and frightful images fill the newspapers every day to realise of the drama of thousands of people who every day have to leave their territories moved by the hunger, the misery, the violence, the lack of expectations or the war. Due to the disinformation, the lack of interest or the biggest magnitude of the problematics, a wide part of our societies continues living at the expense of others through this conflict that shakes the world, from Melilla border fence to the problematics of the refugees. The aim of this artistic proposal, designed and coordinated by the artist native of Coruña Daniel Remeseiro, is the social awareness about this topic, understanding that far from us being foreign, all the people we are a part of this problem, and also of the possible solutions.
The intervention in the urban spaces appears as an unsurpassable opportunity for education, for the interculturality and the reflection and the debate groups. The type of selected intervention is the urban installation, understanding that this one fulfils a function that goes far beyond of the ornamentation. “The Frontier Sea” has a marked aesthetic sense, social and cultural, promoting the collective reflection on an absolutely urgent topic in our society and transmitting ideas and emotions.
The situation in an urban enclave of visibility allows to break the cultural habitual dynamics, expanding the message to groups and people who stay often out of these spaces or circuits. The content of the artistic offer allows to articulate the whole project of educational and social action around it, which helps to spread the message, promotes the collective reflection, and brings over to the art to public heterogeneous that normally remain foreign this type of interventions.

1026 birds made of plaster
Variable measurements
Date: 2016
Is an installation of several representations of dead birds made of plaster (a metaphor of the thousands of people that, trying to flee from war, die in the sea); these representations are reinforced by the screening of a sea that floods the pieces and the voice that takes the victims out of anonymity. This is exactly what I was looking for: to show my answer as a western spectator of the news concerning refugees and the non-sense of violence.
I want the spectator to stop and think, to make a deep reflection and to understand the suffering of other human beings and the fact that we all belong to the same world and that we must take an interest in it because what is happening is not outside Europe like we are supposed to believe; this situation has been happening step by step and we had a constant influence in it.
Our daily routine is being fed by physical and verbal violence, social aggressiveness and personal exclusion, and many times we feel impotence. On the other side, to represent violence literally we are tempted to create more violence, materializing more violence. Violence creates images constantly, horrifying images that fill up the news to whom we are getting used. I try to keep away from this explicit images, because it seems not logical for me to condemn something creating the same thing, confronting this images, working with them and creating a metaphoric answer that invites us to stop and think about what is happening, opening new ways to future interpretations.
This project is focused in violence, especially in the consequences. The original idea was the representation of the victims through birds figures, symbolizing freedom.
I represent dead birds and display them on the ground to allude refugees, that are inevitably related. The sound takes an important role and I use it to take out of anonymity the large amount of victims dead in the see during this years, when trying to cross the Mediterraan Sea to achieve a better life.
Mentioning them name by name dignifies and bring them out of the crowd, because they are human beings, not only numbers.
The names that I mention were extracted from a 22.394 list of asylum applicants, refugees and migrants dead because of reactive politic of European Union since January 1993 to April 2015.
Art provides a definitive evidence that other media don´t because they only provide fast and brief information. The result I expect it that this work serves as a tool to better understand that each death is important, it´s not only about numbers shown in news, they have a name, they are human beings.

Palabras refugio entre Curros e Carballo
Artistic intervention, in the Monuments to the writer and politician Daniel Carballo and Poet Curros Enríquez, located in the gardens of Méndez Núñez in A Coruña.
If I made such a world, let the devil take me, says Curros; We must do more and better politics, answers Carballo.
It is about establishing a “dialogue” between two characters who lived and suffered, for different reasons, the distance of their homeland.
The installation consists of placing bales of clothing in strategic places of the sculptures, in coherence with the claim represented by ACAMPA.

Democracia, nacionalismo, religión y Palestina como nudo gordiano (Editorial Hoja de Lata) por su autor MOHAMED SAFA, oftalmólogo, activista y escritor palestino afincado en España. Mohamed Safa cursó sus estudios de medicina en Santiago de Compostela, reside en Corcubión y ejerce su profesión en Cee, en el hospital Virgen de la Xunqueira. La obra que viene a presentar analiza los levantamientos que tuvieron lugar en las últimas fechas en Oriente Medio y la estrecha relación entre la inestabilidad en los Países Árabes del Mediterráneo y la ocupación israelí de Palestina, un largo conflicto que complica la elección de Trump en los EEUU. El libro cuestiona mitos y afirma que la Primavera Árabe supuso un impulso democrático hacia el futuro detenido por la respuesta violenta y la injerencia extranjera. El autor apuesta por la causa justa de la lucha palestina, el respeto a la legalidad y la asunción de las resoluciones de la ONU en un relato delicado.
Los libros se podrán adquirir y firmar en el mismo acto por los interesados.
