Since 1995, Juan Manuel Echavarría’s photographs and videos have addressed the consequences of the endless Colombian drug wars. Traveling since 2010 through the rural and extensive region of Montes de María, ravaged by the war between the guerrilla movements, the paramilitaries, and the Colombian armed forces. Echavarría documented abandoned schools fallen to ruin and traces left by forced displacements – classrooms without children, desks or teachers, and roofless spaces invaded by tropical humidity where familiar mathematical signs, grammatical symbols, and faint alphabets, can still be seen. He focused his attention on the blackboard of former classrooms.
