Angélica: Mother of Memory
"Maypi kachkanki Arquímedes?" "Where are you, Arquímedes?" What I remember about mamá Angélica are her eyes of unfathomable sadness. That last time I interviewed her, in 2015. Her husband had just passed away. The grief was double then, the heart more fragile. "I am alone, I am sad," the courageous woman kept repeating, her voice in Quechua interspersed with a few words in Spanish. Published on September 3, 2017.
