Tañarandy is a documentary about art and its role within a community, built on the experience of artist Koki Ruiz.

Tañarandy is a place that since the time of conquests is characterized by resistance to oppression and physical and cultural alienation.

Tañarandy portrays the dignity of those who cannot be subject to external circumstances, who speak of hope and of the infinite freedom of humanity’s spirit able to choose and create. Culture here is not a luxury but a fertile land for building a decent life. Ruiz is an artist who finds meaning to his career because he enters his community’s service. His origins and aspirations melt with the history of this area, a region of men and women of peasant origin.

Tañarandy is not just a physical place, it is a symbol of resistance.
