Bernardo Javier Tobar will promote his book 'The party is a must. Artisans intellectual Carnival of Blacks and Whites in the imagination of other worlds'

The text is published by Editorial Seal of the University of Cauca, with the projection of visual ethnography work that is based on the work of artisans and intellectuals who built the Nariño capital Carnival each year in January.

The play will be presented at the IV International Meeting of Cultural Andes of Pasto between August 1 and 10.

"Artists build a supremely rich event on an aesthetic and symbolic level, a world assembled with events, texts, images, utterances that explore and open different records of reality to new forms of reading," said the professor.

The research has a number of audiovisuals that make the rich heritage that sustains and nourishes the most important department of Nariño visible as a social and collective construction of the various spiritual and intangible manifestations usually not identified carnival.

Similarly, the official launch of the book in Popayan is scheduled for October, during a thematic roundtable discussion conference that will take place at the University of Cauca.

Bernardo Javier Tobar is an anthropologist, Master in Etnoliteratura, PhD in Anthropology with honors from the Ministry of Culture in the call for stimulus 2013, author of several articles, and a co-author of recognized books.
