Alejandra Gutierrez Gomez
Boyaca anthropologist graduated from the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana. His topics of interest have been peasant ways of life among the Afro-descendant population on the Pacific coast and in the Colombian Caribbean. There he has developed research work on the dispossession of land, the collective ways of inhabiting the territory and the dynamics
economic rural areas. One of his main concerns at present is the appropriation of creative languages to systematize and disseminate the reflections and contributions of these inquiries.

Proposal
In the framework of the curatorial projects New Relations with Capital and Knowledge about Power and Peace, Fabio and Alejandra come to C3P in order to share their experiences regarding the protection of native and creole seeds as a political practice in defense of the food sovereignty, as well as his ethnographic research on the traditional economic practices of the peasant population of the South Pacific, which advocates the understanding and defense of other forms of value outside the sphere of capital.
