Seed of Memory: Ancestral Recipes

Brief description

The artist collective Weaving Realities’ (Yuchen Li, Aldo Esparza Ramos) contributes this book to decolonial healing as a seed of memory. Li and Ramos have been gathering and reenacting ancestral recipes since 2017, using art to amplify the voices of stories that are being silenced and to remember the worlds of meanings that are being erased. They believe that ancestral recipes can open a space for learning diverse knowledges which contribute to healing our relations to food, to land and the lives of others. Through cooking and eating together, they attempt to build a bridge that connects them to the communities in Abya Yala, who are living in reciprocity with Earth.
