installation for documentary film
31 mins, 2019

Designed and built installations based on stories narrated by eco-feminists from Tolima in Columbia about their struggle for agricultural autonomy in face of the violence by transnational corporations, governments and paramilitaries.

After listening to interviews and stories, I worked on making an installation titled ‘seed machine’ which stages a faceted dialog between the relationship of land grabs by large corporations and its effects on the micro ecology of the soil.

screened at:
Berlin Biennale 2020
International Film Festival Rotterdam 2021
Installations at Sharjah Architecture Triennial (2019)
