Abrazar la Tierra Book
COLLECTIVE MEMORIES OF ANCESTRAL CUISINE FROM COQUÍ, CHOCÓ.
This book has been created in a participatory manner with various members of the Coquí community.
Throughout its production process, various spaces have been generated for reflecting on the importance of food, not only for generating self-sustaining economies but also for strengthening territorial autonomy, cultural practices, and environmental regeneration.
Within its kitchens, spaces of alchemy are where other possible futures are contemplated, and a connection is made with the legacy of ancestral spirituality and wisdom.
This project was made possible thanks to the entire Coquí community, Diana Posen and Daniel Posen, Zotea Experiencia Culinaria, Casa Múcura, Hammbre de Cultura, Carlos Montoya, María Andrea Pineda, Alejandro Silva, Alejandro Osses, Alejandra Salamanca, Alejandra Liévano, and Juanita Castaño.
