Dream job

 I believe it has become clear that I really enjoy my career. Nevertheless, the Archaeology that I most certainly enjoy isn´t in Chile. In the Universidad de Chile they teach you Archaeology from four materialities, there is lithics, ceramics, cave art and bioarchaeology, this last includes zooarchaeology, archaeobotany and bioanthropology. Although I enjoy working with any of those, my dream job will be working with something called Archeology of the present. The Arqueology of the present studies the modern and contemporary art, the trash, the urbanism, etc. The only space where my passions of archaeology may fits is in an area that it's called Cultural heritage studies. 

But, I don´t like  Cultural heritage studies just the way that it is. Cause, my future job would has to be at the museum or at the Congress, where I don´t want to be. As an artist, I don´t like the emptiness of the museums, also because the museums aren´t for any kind of art, just for the socially appropriate. And as a politicized future archaeologist and  artist, I refuse to work at the Congress. So I have it really hard.

So then, my dream job would be with the comunities and on the street, talking and shearing with people. The normal people are who make the actual Archaeology everyday.

My best holydays/concert

I can´t  decided so i´m going to talk about two of my best holidays. The first experience was back at 2015, when my litle brother was born. He was born right at the middle of the summer (yes...he is a capricorn), and so, my mom payed me a travel with my ant cause she didn´t want me to loose my vacations. For this, I went to San Pedro de Atacama with my ant Daniela for a week. It was amaizing, I actually want to come back there since I left, seven years ago. You know I´m studying archeology, and the last period of time I´m really loving it, so, the main reason why I need to go back to some places that captivated me it´s because now I need to see them with the archeology eye. Related to that, is the other experience that I want to tell you. On December last year, I went to the XXII Congreso Nacional de Arqueología Chilena at Puerto Montt city. I went camping with my friend Greta. It was an experience that I always bring with me, cause it make me conect with archeology.

A country I´d like to visit.

There is a lot of countries that I would like to visit, but if I have to choose one, I´ll pick Greece. That because, this country it´s the cradle of knowledge, the history of the western human was born there, so the nerdy part of me make me want to go. I really don't know so much about Greece, but one time I heard about a neighborhood call "Exarchia" that it's in central Athens, it is renowned for being the historical core of radical political and intellectual activism, also in there is the National Archaeological Museum of Athens, a place that an archaelogy student shouldn't miss. And obviously being able to know it's paradisiacal beaches, that are just some of things that I will like to do in there. I been having the idea of maybe go to Greece for study, it would be a dream to have an archeology study program in some Greece university. But, I think that I could never go to live outside of South America like permanently.   Exarchia National Archaeological Mus...
