This opening event sets the tone with a curated screening of short films that highlight grassroots initiatives from the Colombian Pacific. Next is a conversation with invited speakers from the participating organizations who will offer insight into their work on territorial protection and community-led practices. The evening concludes with a hands-on demonstration workshop on natural dyeing, which introduces participants to ancestral techniques that are rooted in sustainable relationships with the environment.
Over the following weeks, the program continues with Embodied Ecologies, a feminist climate action project consisting of a series of four interactive natural dyeing workshops carried out over the course of one month. These workshops draw on methodologies developed by the collective and on ancestral, land-based knowledge. These sessions will deepen the exchange around key themes, such as defending territory, constructing social fabric, and caring for biocultural heritage as a strategy for sustaining life. The workshops are facilitated in collaboration with Upcycling Against the Machine, a women-led collective that focuses on the political potential of textile reuse and resignifying materials through creative and critical practices.
Through shared experiences with Radio Juntanza and Casa Múcura, participants engage with methodologies connecting local struggles across geographies. By linking these territories, the program fosters dialogue, collective learning, and new imaginaries for ecological and social justice and cultural resistance.
