This immersive workshop by H\u00e9ctor Aristiz\u00e1bal offers an introduction to a practice rooted in
community arts, collective healing, and social transformation. Through embodied exercises,
storytelling, and contemporary ritual, participants are invited into a shared ceremonial space where lived experience can be witnessed and gently transformed. Grounded in deep ecology and collective presence, the workshop brings together theatre, ritual, and reflection as tools for connection and meaning-making.
H\u00e9ctor has over forty years of experience working internationally at the intersection of art, healing, and social change. Trained in Theatre of the Oppressed, he founded ImaginAction in 2000 and has worked in more than fifty countries supporting processes of conflict transformation and collective trauma healing. Since returning to Colombia in 2017, he has been co-creating Re-Conectando, an immersive cultural laboratory responding to social and ecological fractures through theatre, ritual, and connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

H\u00e9ctor Aristiz\u00e1bal, geboren in Medell\u00edn, Colombia, is therapeut, acteur, regisseur en activist met meer dan 40 jaar ervaring. In 1989 werd hij gedwongen naar de Verenigde Staten te emigreren vanwege het geweld in zijn thuisland. Daar werkte hij als tweetalig therapeut met kwetsbare groepen, waaronder hiv\/aids-pati\u00ebnten, bendeleden, gevangenen en vluchtelingen. In 2000 richtte hij ImaginAction op, een organisatie waarmee hij in meer dan 50 landen heeft samengewerkt om conflicten te transformeren en collectieve trauma's te helen door middel van theater. <\/p>\n\n

In 2017 keerde H\u00e9ctor terug naar Colombia en was medeoprichter van DreamingAction en Re-Conectando om culturele transformatie en genezing te bevorderen in het kader van het vredesakkoord. Zijn werk is bekroond met verschillende prijzen, waaronder de Otto Ren\u00e9 Castillo Award, en wordt beschreven in zijn autobiografie, geschreven samen met Diane Lefer, The Blessing Next to the Wound<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n
