Coca: Ancestral Plant and Contested Symbol
This installation explores the cultural, medicinal, and political dimensions of the coca plant. Hanging branches and preserved leaves highlight its sacred role in indigenous cosmologies, while jars of dried and liquid specimens evoke scientific control and state surveillance. The work questions how a plant of life became entangled in narratives of violence and prohibition.
