words from Marcela Torres
In my life and within my practice I wander as a nomadic searcher, from place, cosmic planes and medium. I am driven by the question:
“Do I deserve to have my indigenous culture and if so how do I access it once it was lost by my ancestors?"
This guides my internal map to learn practices, develop land kinship and community that completes a series of unlocking rituals, bodily transformations and sacral objects. Generated through communal ceremonies, I build objects that hold these indigenous spiritual systems and create moments where they are activated.
THOUGHTS ON THE LAB
Latitude was the first time I printed my own documentation footage, I was able to experiment with printing on velvet, transparencies and silk. This is something I still need to explore and understand.
