Rodrigo Panda Ortega
A challenge I overcame: Arrogance
A dream for my future: To have a beautiful family
and to travel with it through the whole world.
A hope for the global community: That Chistita is the new
World Empress and brings love and happiness to the world.
Panda is an artist, musician and lecturer
of Art History at Santiago’s university in Chile and was one of the three co-ordinators of the Social Summer Camp residency with Curatoria Forense in Villa Alegre in February.
He is also an amazing dancer, damn good at salsa and also the first one
to show me a few of the cueca steps,
the traditional national dance of Chile that is based on a cockerel wooing a
hen.
Panda was also one of our team of four that took the joy of Rocket’s mobile-karaokê to the tube-traveling public of Santiago’s metro one of the days after the residency had finished. Rocket provided the speakers and tracks, Chisti sang and encouraged the public to join in and Panda and I filmed... the public variously smiled, laughed, looked bemused, sang and high-fived... a wicked intervention full of joy!
