HuEllas (Traces). Love and violencia stories from the intimate to the political

Ms. Esther Martín Pineda is the founder of Triacore, a space dedicated to self-recognition and conscious healing. She was born and raised in a town in southern Spain, looking at the African border every day. A feminist and lesbian activist from a young age, she dedicated herself to social work and public policies with an emphasis on gender, migration and LGTB people in Spain, Portugal and Latin America. She felt that the camera could be a lens that gives us back a healing look at our life stories and perhaps, the best way to break the silence and give visibility to the beauty that‘s always hidden in each story. As an artistic self-taught person, she began to explore the audiovisual world with her debut feature "HuEllas" ('Traces') within her academic thesis of the same title.
Along this path of directing and post-producing "HuEllas", she was collaborating in different projects such as the "Actancial Anatomy Training video art" (Belén do Pará, Brazil, 2016). She was Assistant Director of the short film "Soledad" (Madrid, Spain, 2019), as well as director of awareness videos for the "Pilot Project for the Prevention of Unwanted Loneliness" by the Madrid City Council (Madrid, Spain, 2018-2019).
