**Natalia Roa** is a writer, editor and interdisciplinary artist. Together with Colombian percussionist **Luis Orobio**, she will weave a tapestry of sound, rhythm, and storytelling around the concept of Ashé, narrative and soundscapes of Abya Yala that offer an alternative present to a growing dismemory. From a sonic legacy, ashé signifies permanence: the constant gaze for and at the instruments, the bodies, and the tunes with which enslaved people declared their emancipation, blending ritual with celebration, we remember.
