Julieta Reta Cardinali was born in San Luis and, since the age of 14, has been doing theater. The truth is that it is something I always felt. I was always one hundred percent determined that I was going to dedicate myself to that, he said in dialogue with El Diario. Her parents supported her when she wanted to go to workshops and encouraged her to do what was already, let’s say, in her nature: she did crafts, painted, drew, researched.
Destiny was to create.
Some time ago he settled in Cordoba, where he followed that path: he studied the Bachelor of Theater. Meanwhile, he started traveling with a project called Itinerante Teatro. He collaborated with artists in the places he visited. And that led me to find that connection between the two passions that were traveling and doing theater, he said.
Be self-managed: I looked for opportunities, experiences. I did it. In some places he did it through exchanges: he gave talks, workshops. Over four years he toured 19 cities in 10 countries. The last time he lived in Mexico, where he also studied an exchange of Dramatic Art studies at the Benemrita Universidad Autnoma de Puebla. When she returned to Cordoba she continued with Itinerante Teatro, but already as a performing arts producer. I kept searching for what I could capitalize on from all that knowledge learned on my travels, he noted.
In those days, theater groups approached her who wanted her to produce a play for them and, at the same time, travel: the experiences she shared were contagious. It was another song, it was different. It is one thing to travel alone, to manage yourself and if a problem occurs to cope at a certain point, and it was another thing to take a group of people, to be meeting those expectations, she said. At that time I observed that between art and travel there was a common pattern consisting of the need for artists to be in an awakened search, to want to learn new techniques, new colors and feel new things.
That was the turning point for the emergence of Migrarte.
Presentation in the Heretic Shawl
During the late night of this Saturday, at the Chal Hereje, located at the corner of San Juan and Lisandro de la Torre streets, an open talk was held called Traveling with art in the backpack, where Cardinali presented Migrarte, an initiative originated in 2019 (It was planned to launch in May 2020, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic it was not possible and it began to be in force, therefore, since August) which it heads and which, according to what, is the first Latin American exchange platform specifically for artists and traveling designers.
In this sense, he explained that it is a digital tool that allows connecting cultural hosts and artists. He also described that cultural hosts register and upload projects: they can be houses or cultural centers (such as the shawl), theaters, art galleries or public spaces. Then, later, the artists arrive to nominate, collaborate and join the different proposals.
She, in turn, described this possibility as very versatile because the interested parties can not only participate, for example, in the artistic development of a work, but they can also collaborate with tasks that have to be developed in a cultural center or open the schedule. to make dates in a certain site. In this regard, he stressed that in all cases they try to have something reciprocal and both parties enrich themselves.
In this direction, he recalled that, together with Teatro de Herejes, among others, they were awarded in a call held last year by the National University of Cordoba (UNC), called Nursery for artistic projects. Those selected, according to the page of the house of higher studies, accessed training and tutors under the face-to-face and distance modality aimed at strengthening their artistic initiatives, obtaining visibility and finding opportunities.
We really found the work they have been doing incredible, especially the revaluation of an architectural space such as the shawl, Cardinali pointed out, adding that, after the talk, connections emerged with the cultural sector of Villa Mara. In this way, the frustrations and joys that are detected in this universe were shared and they discussed the alternatives that exist to generate exchanges. I think the pandemic year further prompted us to understand that we need to be together and together in order to continue sustaining art and culture, he said. And he added that the possibilities were evaluated for artists from other places to come to the city to, for example, give workshops, or for artists from the same city to join the proposals that are being given in Villa Mara. In this line, she expressed that the objective is to mobilize energy.
Finally, the cultural manager spoke about art and stressed that a point of discomfort is sought because, in this way, there is, in some way, a break in order to create.
