Catalogue De stad, de stad

Before moving to Rotterdam, artist Natalia Sorzano worked as coordinator for the LGBTIQ affairs for the Colombian Government. Her performance Office for Irrelevant Affairs addresses the issues she encountered working at a Ministry that neglected and politically instrumentalized sexual and gender identities.The title of the performance is taken from a quote by her co-worker, after a briefing about the threats to the community was met with indifference. Now, years later, Natalia Sorzano remains in touch with her activist colleagues, and looks back at her time as a policy maker in Colombia from her new home town.
