The house architecture carries several antagonistic symbolisms – solidity, lightness, cosiness, modernity, warmth, freshness – and complementary so as to shorten the distance between our dreams and achievements, an antidote to the boredom of traditional houses.

IBFF Screens “Afro-Argentines” by Jorge Fortes and Diego Ceballo
International Black Film Festival (IBBF) presented a profound documentary on the history of Black Argentines set against the threshold of marginalization. The video sparked a heated discussion on the subject of racism, discrimination and other attitudes.
“Afro-Argentines” is an eye opening documentary made in 2002 by Jorge Fortes and Diego Ceballo. The filmmakers scrutinized widespread racism in Argentina from the 19th to the 21st centuries by exploring slavery(that was abolished in 1813 then officially in 1831), war (which was a major factor in the de-population of Blacks), socio-economic pressures, racism and disease (Cholera Epidemics in 1861 and 1864).
Allen C. Dawson, IBFF Director/ Moderator launched a spirited discussion of the radical term “Endo-racism”, used by Miriam Gomes, a historian in the film. “Endo-racism” refers to stereotypes or negative racial perceptions that are internalized by the individuals that are being discriminated against.
According to audience member Lisa Strum, a Teacher/Actress, “Endo-racism” can be considered preconceived notions or misinterpretations”
Trisha Cunningham, a Language Director, in attendance stated it could be, “the acts of cultural contributions without the racial acknowledgement”. What do you think?
Presumptuous attitudes within the everyday lives of people throughout the Americas define the struggles of “Endo-racism”. As quoted in the film the former President of Argentina, Carlos Saul Menem stated that, “There are no Black people in Argentina, Brazil has that problem”.
Although, it is a fact that during the late 19th and early 20th century the Afro- Argentine population began to be discolored because it consisted mostly of women that inter-married with the thousands of European immigrants arriving in Argentina. This documentary clearly debunks that statement!
The words I’d use to describe the International Black Film Festival screening of “Afro-Argentines” and the discussion following the film are “powerful, insightful and enlightening”.
And, I’m eager to join the discussion at their next screening on Wednesday, June 2 of “WOUBI CHERI” a film byPhillip Brooksand Laurent Bocahut that spotlights a rarely seen side of Africa and raises serious issues. It is the first film to give the West African Gay Community a voice.
