Camuzzi, The country’s largest natural gas distributor launches “Creative Footprint”a documentary that celebrates, through interviews with local artists, Argentine identity, showing how energy drives both creativity and progress.
Facu, The young musician, protagonist of the audiovisual piece, takes a trip through seven Argentine provinces guided by the “Natural Art Network”, Camuzzi’s largest open-air gallery in the world, made up of 22 murals painted by local artists on the walls of the company’s Pressure Regulating Stations, which were once vandalized.
The young man from Bariloche, who lives in La Plata, begins his journey in the capital of Buenos Aires, visits the murals and makes visible other artistic disciplines present in the country, exploring the connection between energy, art, tourism and culture in Argentina. A payador, a malambo dancer and a ceramicist are some of the neighbors he will meet on his way, while he travels through Buenos Aires, La Pampa, Neuquén, Río Negro, Chubut, Santa Cruz and Tierra del Fuego.
The documentary can be viewed from Thursday, September 5, both on Flow and on Camuzzi’s YouTube Channel (Camuzzi Oficial).
Likewise, the different chapters that make up the complete piece will be published each week on the company’s social media (@camuzzigas), with the story of the artist from each town visited.
“We reach more than 360 locations with natural gas, from the Pampas region to the southern tip of Patagonia. With the Red Nacional de Arte (National Art Network) and now also with Huella Creativa, at Camuzzi we seek to shorten distances, discover and give visibility to emerging artists who live in the company’s wide concession area, and who embody our traditions, our Argentinian identity, in their different disciplines,” he says. Rodrigo EspinosaCommunications Manager at Camuzzi.
The cities and towns visited throughout the documentary, along with their respective artists:
- Roberto Cano, Buenos Aires – Nicolas Membriani: Renowned payador who tells how his daily life unfolds, through his singing and improvisations typical of the payada that demonstrate his great talent.
- Santa Rosa, La Pampa – Silvia Mossman: malambo dancer, the quintessential Argentine tap dance, who expresses her respect and passion for it.
- San Martin de los Andes, Neuquen – Leticia Tripailaf: textile artisan, who makes ponchos, ruanas, rugs, bedspreads, and other items, with a skill that is passed down from generation to generation in her family.
