Sorority bodies and territories: the power of coming together

Collaborative installation with the Women's Committee of the Farmers Association of Inzá, Cauca, based on the five pillars of the committee: food sovereignty, women's empowerment, social and solidarity economy, and human rights with emphasis on women's rights and political organization.

Through five video performances, farm women interact with natural elements such as corn, rosemary, aloe vera, avocado trees and oranges, fusing art and politics. Included is a ritual-altar with products from their gardens, reflecting their struggle for food sovereignty and women's rights.

Funded by the Tinkuy Center of the Institución Universitaria Politécnico Grancolombiano, this project questions the relationship between academia, social movements and rural communities in a de-hierarchical, anti-colonial and anti-extractivist way.
