“This booklet is our contribution to decolonial healing as a seed of memory. We have been gathering and reenacting ancestral recipes since 2017, using art to amplify voices of stories that are being silenced and to remember the worlds of meanings that are being erased. We believe that the ancestral recipes can open a space for learning diverse knowledges which contribute to healing our relations to food, to land and to the lives of others. Through cooking and eating together, we attempt to build a bridge that connects us to the communities in Abya Yala, who are living in reciprocity with Earth.”
Weaving Realities are an Amsterdam-based collective consisting of Yuchen Li and Aldo Esparza Ramos, for this publication they worked together with Suumil Móokt’aan Collective (Valiana Aguilar), Mayra Telumbre & Diana Laura Rodrigueze, and Dwanimaku Arroyo Izquierdo to create a work that presents 4 ancestral recipes alongside personal reflections, essays and documentation of performances in order to amplify suppressed perspectives and to present healing, sustainable and decolonising practices, accompanied by reproduced photographs and drawings.
