- **Event Description**: Opening gala of JAIDË, a photographic exhibition that examines the ongoing suicide crisis affecting Indigenous communities in Colombia.About this EventJAIDË – Exhibition by Santiago MesaPresented by Mugre and the University of WestminsterCelebrate the opening of JAIDË with an exclusive preview of the exhibition alongisde an opening talk and audience Q&A with the photographer, Santiago Mesa.The exhibition itself examines the ongoing suicide crisis affecting Indigenous communities in Colombia, with particular focus on the Emberá people of the Chocó region and those displaced to urban environments such as Bogotá.Rather than depicting suicide directly, the project approaches it as a broader emotional and social condition shaped by decades of armed conflict, forced displacement, the erosion of traditional livelihoods, and prolonged institutional neglect.Through a series of quiet, carefully observed photographs, the exhibition explores how trauma, memory, and absence are inscribed into everyday spaces and gestures. Domestic interiors, landscapes, and moments of stillness become traces of lives and histories that often remain unseen.Presented by Mugre at the University of Westminster, JAIDË invites visitors into a contemplative space where images unfold slowly, encouraging reflection rather than spectacle.About the ArtistSantiago Mesa is a Colombian documentary photographer whose work explores social and political issues across Latin America. His long-term projects often focus on the lived consequences of conflict, displacement, and structural inequality.JAIDË has received international recognition, including selection in the World Press Photo Foundation Photo Contest, and has been presented by the photography agency Panos Pictures.Visitor NoteThis exhibition addresses themes related to suicide and trauma within Indigenous communities. The presentation is handled with care and sensitivity, but some visitors may find the subject matter emotionally challenging.
