healing through remembering
Summary
healing through remembering narrates the experience of my return to my traditional territories to learn about healing with my grandmother.
Healing Through Remembering is a continual documentation of my learning and growing process as a Kichwa immigrant, as a woman that lives in two territories, that left her land out of necessity and walks search of herself and a place where her being can exist. I find my healing in photography, in words and in the plants that surround me. I inspire myself in my experiences and in the moments that have brought me joy, pain and through all those that have loved me.
I walk with the knowledge that the plants share with me, the knowledge that I remember through intuition and I fight strength in the radical idea that - home - exists within my body. These are a collection of visuals and poems that I share with you, so that you know me and see my process and, to leave an archive for my descendants and a road map to remembering the determination that our abuelitxs left for us in our memory
