Or HAPPY ABORTION.
To all voluntary terminations of pregnancy in the author’s family tree.
An abortion is a difficult experience without necessarily being traumatic.
An abortion is an everyday event rather than an exceptional one, and it’s also experienced with joy.

On the Author’s Roots
Viviana M. Calderon de la Barca is
writer and director of short film Life Is A Cultural Thread (2022),
Occupy Cultural Threads triptych installation (2021),
and short film Life Is A Journey (2019/20).
While all works pay homage to the director’s dear mixed heritage and ancestral linkages, Life Is A Cultural Thread (2022), is dedicated to her maternal legacy as the great granddaughter of Federico Calderón de la Barca Romualdi and Carmen García Vallesinos, both, offspring of Spanish and Italian immigrants to Mexico.
Like them, Viviana’s father Eastern European descent makes her also part of her current home in Europe. The Netherlands is where her marital relationship brought her from Canada. It’s in Dutch land where she has lived the most and where she feels the most at home. Her birthplace, on the other hand, is San Angel. Once a beautiful valley between two volcanoes, one snowcapped and the other of fire in Mexico City.
