(HUMAN LAND)

This project started in 2017 as a collaboration with Kichwa communities (Saraguro, Otavalo and Cañari) in New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts. It looks into themes of spirituality, daily life and the relation to the homeland as well as the determination to inhabit the new territories as runas in rural and urban America. It has a documentary as well as an staged approached.

This project began during the Engaging Artist Residency Program of More Art and was able to continue thanks to their Research Grant. More info about the program here. It has been made in collaboration with Kichwa Hatari collective, Kichwa Nation and SARUSA organization.
