In the cocoa-growing landscapes of Colombia, life depends on invisible alliances. The cotton-top tamarin, critically endangered, disperses seeds and sustains the balance of the forest, while the tiny cocoa midge makes the pollination of the fruit possible. Without them, cocoa would not exist.
At the same time, women cocoa farmers protect these territories with strength and resilience, cultivating not only the land but also the collective memory. Through human-animal hybrids, the work proposes to embody these connections, merging bodies and species to reveal how much we need each other to survive.
Art thus becomes a gesture of empathy and awareness: an invitation to recognize the fragility of these relationships and the urgency of protecting them.
