Proposal
Sow the land
The current situation has put into crisis the model of urban life that is detached from the land and in terms of economic capital, it is a time that has made us rethink our model of life as human beings in terms of the role we fulfill on the land.
As an artist and planter, I have received an invitation from the Casa Tres Patios Foundation in Medellín Antioquía to develop a virtual residence, which they propose to treat mutualism and parasitism; echoing the processes that I have accompanied from Cauca with the collective Minga de Pensamiento De-colonial Practices and the wisdom that my colleagues have given me, and people that I have met in this land and in my journey, I propose to do a collective process with companions, who have truly committed processes towards the land and towards the communities they inhabit.
A grain of sand that I hope this is the trigger and becomes a life project, which allows us to give a breath back to this side of the earth.
For the virtual residence in Casa tres patios 2020 on mutualism and parasitism, we will develop collectively, a sowing minga, a community and public urban garden, in a public sector, a part of the Panamericana avenue that passes through Popayán, we will plant medicinal plants, vegetables, fruit trees.
The process will be accompanied by the guide of indigenous taitas and elders, the production will be done by the Minga collective of De-colonial Practices thought.
Sowing the land will have the following cycles each one week long:
Cycle 1 Minga Coordination: Minga Collective of De-colonial Practices Thought
Cycle 2 Contribution of seeds: With a view to using spiritual and food sovereignty
Cycle 3 Minga of sowing: With a view to using spiritual and food sovereignty
