Installation/Encounter as part of Vattenmarknaden (Water Market) -“Konstnärliga avsmyckningar av Norra Djurgårdsstaden, Akt III: Vatten” by @Mossutstallningar – August 16th, 2020
Through different items displayed in the form of a Yunza, a traditional festivity from the andes of Peru where a tree is decorated with presents and colorful decoration as a celebration during the rain-months, the visitors and I were able to talk about water and colonialism, development, access to water and sanitation, displacement of (indigenous) communities, green capitalism, extractivism and pandemias; and what would have happened if the north would be in the south, and the global south in the north.

“On Monday evening August 10, 2020, Chilean time, Machi Celestino Córdova announced that after 100 days of hunger strike, he is now ready to enter a dry hunger strike.
In the public message below, freely translated by us, he describes his decision. For us, it is important that his message also comes out in Swedish and in other languages, when mother earth’s sustainability and human rights are warm about the heart. Degrading mother earth and captivating and slowly murdering Mother Earth guardians affects all humanity in the end.(…)Mapuches have been fighting for their rights and for earth’s rights for over 500 years. The manifestations are peaceful and play out as different meetings, talks and barricades of roads in southern Chile. The fate of Machi Celestino and the political mapuche prisoners in Chile are not noticed internationally.”- Kultwatch – https://www.facebook.com/kultw/posts/2713425168868993/
