History of Colombia - An...

Kelly Mass

Colombia’s history is marked by a rich tapestry of indigenous cultures and societies, which laid the foundations for the diverse nation that exists today. Long before the Spanish arrived in 1492, the region was home to advanced civilizations such as the Muisca Confederation, the Quimbaya Civilization, and the Tairona Chiefdoms. These indigenous groups thrived in Colombia's varied geography, establishing complex societies with sophisticated agricultural practices, intricate trade networks, and elaborate spiritual beliefs. 
The Spanish conquest of the Americas brought significant change to the region. Following Christopher Columbus's arrival in the Caribbean, Spanish explorers began their colonization efforts. In 1538, the Spanish established Bogotá, which became the capital of the Viceroyalty of New Granada. This vast colonial territory included what is now Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, and Venezuela. The Spanish imposed their rule over the indigenous peoples, exploiting both the land and the labor of native communities, which would profoundly shape the future of the region.

Iberia

Julian Sayarer

'Iberia is Julian Sayarer's account of his impromptu journey across Portugal and Spain, from Lisbon towards Barcelona, undertaken during a pandemic on an old blue bicycle named Miles
Finding himself in Lisbon amidst a pandemic, Julian Sayarer decides simply to ride. Through hazy landscapes and on baked roads, he pedals east. During long hours in the saddle, his thoughts traverse matters big and small – hopping from post-colonial culpability to the supremacy of an orange picked at the roadside. Across 900 miles of sun-drenched olive groves, vast mountainscapes, and dormant towns glimpsed through driving rain, Sayarer's journey is punctuated by fleeting, beautiful moments of human connection. Iberia is a celebration of a shared humanity and community found in a uniquely fragile time.
