the friends who listen to the sounds of
the impossible life changing from the night to
other
the symphony life will accompany us
for your remember where we came from
we are children of water
the children of the earth had once
thought of this we are part of that skin
living of the planet not only achieve
organism and has transformed planet in
billions of years and it follows
transforming the peoples have taken care
all the traditional recognize that
genetic link with the natural world
like rivers of the jungle with that skin
living
the difference we should always
the fragments they belong
we own
[Music]
they see the mother of the mother earth
the rivers
we see economic opportunities
[Music]
we separate when they see a
territory with life and a spirit that
one of the things the Amazonian peoples
he has recognized his landscape
all these characteristics of life and
are their stories in their stories
mythical in the songs in the
invocations when telling stories has been
the oldest way to transmit the
knowledge of telling the ideas that
tell the adventures
that’s why we’re here and today
I would like to share with you a trip
40 years deep jungle
as a child wanted to be an explorer wanted
live a great adventure
I wanted to live in the jungle between lópez
when I was 19 years old and for three months if
well a young community and the
days working with the best worker
of baskets in the region that was also
one of the most recognized shamans but
not only taught me how to weave with fiber
cane especially showing its left
world view of how everything is
connected everything is a great fabric like
the whole cosmos vibrates and through that
I opened it with a new road trip
completely initiatory and it was cumin
the beginning of my path as a twist in
all these years it has been one
Search the search for poetics
natural the understanding of the world to
through resonances of their
correspondences
the next trip was an expedition
1,200 kilometers down the Lopez rivers
it was apana apaporis de caquetá for about
best preserved territories of the
colombian amazon
in the wake of that trip
twenty years later published books the
first about vaccinating others to
the people the water and the second about the
geography the soundscapes of the north
from South America
the rivers are the course to the landscape
the silent teacher who teach a
very deep choice is to let flow
they talk about time and talk about learning
of wonder to be surprised by the
lifetime
years later I will live for two years
to an island on the Apaporis River and with the
help of two friends vaccine build a
very simple cabin but the roof of
palm without walls a floor of bark and
he lived with the minimum necessary he did not have
radio they had no books for six years
studying science I wanted to experiment
the jungle directly with the senses and
that’s what I did for two years
just sit down to see the river to see the
jungle and eventually after that
a few months
I literally became wild and vibrated
with everything that surrounded me and was
the supremely intense years
possibly the most intense years that
live in my life
There came a time when the skin was not
but it foresees the boundary between the jungle
outside and the jungle inside
i
and being in the polis he had a
opportunity and was to buy a house that
had been cauche day and
after research station
anthropological the station as
called him changes the name here
noaa that means the place where
manifests the spirit to nature
There began a new stage in the
experience in the jungle and was to start
cultivate lead a self-sufficient life
start rebuilding the apprentice house
of carpentry
I started to learn from all kinds of
trades and since that time is something that
he has always accompanied me
If I need something, first try
to do it with my own hands before
to continue with camps I believe in autarky
as a form of freedom and also
as an aesthetic autarky
self-sufficiency
in those years he was invited to a
expedition as a photographer and I met that
it’s my partner and wife
our two daughters
i
we lived a quiet life full front
to the jungle river
but the time came when we
leave due to the Russian war with
fix
for many years to fill that void that
it stays in the soul when they have been lost
Dreams
however I have the jungle today and
dwells in me and all my paintings work
drawings photographs and sounds arises from
that intimate relationship that I already have with the
natural world
my work that life as only project
artistic is growing in a way
organic are going to link the different
parties were generating a set of
images and that are fertile fields for
refinement
recently been precisely
bringing together many of these jobs that
I have done different media for years and with
animation techniques doing without yy

and eight years ago with my wife
We decided to go back to the cell next door
of the mackay park harassment river amazon
we got a forest and we started the
cala project is not a laboratory a
laboratory for the imagination for the
creativity a laboratory
architecture and sustainable design the
natural conservation and conservation
cultural all in cala is not experimental
the work of the forest is recovery
of the forest worked with the communities
the construction of the same place where
we look for local knowledge
local techniques but at the same
we are innovating
[Music]
the noaa is a great fabric the environmental and
the social
architecture landscaping art
gastronomy is all in the back we do
workshops is a sequel too and with
a school with a university
canadian vancouver we do every year
a field school where we explore
new possibilities for education and
learning where the jungle and are the
local knowledge who are teaching
the drug is a meeting place
encounters with wild encounters
with the other encounter with oneself
with the communities through the
gala foundation we have not developed
different projects
we maintain a scholarship for studies
indigenous university students
communities we have done photography with
children moral painting and we’re
recovering dances and songs
traditional
all this as a strategy of
natural conservation of conservation
cultural
I believe in the imagination but the power of
imagine a world and do everything
possible to make a world a reality
Where does the economy come from?
not the excess and the superfluous hcd where
there is an ethic of respect for the other and
respect for other forms of life is the
foundation of our life project
there is something there is something in this scene I
fascinates
there is some history it stings me the
fragility of life sees the need
how our country does not go planet
in the middle of the pink cosmos the canoe
cross the big river in something like the trip
mythical as if man were the way
same that travel continues to explore
the world
I want to insist on something and it ‘s in the
importance and the need for
identify not only the landscape is
recover that connection with the landscape
our urban world away from the countryside
away from the jungles away from everything
we have forgotten where we came from and
we have also forgotten that we still
we depend on him we are part of the
territory
we are part of this river those cells of
these plains for more than us
transform is part of our
essence
and we must remember that the landscape is the
geography of the memory of geography
of what we are
I invite you to retrieve this connection
the natural world with the world of which
we are born will go back to walk barefoot
by the beach feel the rain listen
the music of the jungle and the music of the
life reconnect us the noise that has been
so important for this city that is
part of its history of connecting with
the sea with the mountains of the Sierra
heart of the world for choirs
and come back again to remember
we are caribbean we are america
latina that we are children of the earth
thank you very much
