The Domestication of Volcanoes (Chapter 1: Fertility)
Michelle Mildenberg (Bogotá, Colombia, 1991) is interested in biopolitics, territories of conflict, and historiography from a gendered perspective. Mildenberg’s animation is set in 1973; Fernanda is thirteen years old and has embarked on a journey across Colombia to join older friends that are hanging out in Santa Marta on the Atlantic coast. Her friend Beatriz comes along, with whom she has plotted an intelligible escape from their parents. During the trip, Fernanda leaves the bubble of her neighborhood in Bogotá, transgressing the vast and plural territory in front of her and acquiring a different understanding of her body through doing so. She encounters a series of women that hold a historical testimony of the period in which her journey takes place.
