Is this what it means to “become one with nature?” 
 
You are looking at a collaborative "geochoreography” performance that places people in the natural environment to spotlight harmful human changes to the land. Here participants form the shape of a germinated seed with roots and corn stalks. 

Last April, vpam_arts curator Joseph Valencia, artist Carolina Caycedo (lacaycedo), and arts organization Ruta Del Castor (rutadelcastor) brought students from East Los Angeles College (elachuskies) to Xochimilco, Mexico City as part of a three-day gathering called “Sembrando Humedad (Sowing Moisture)." The program culminated in this artwork, which represents a commitment to the ecological restoration and sustainability of the region’s canals. 

Learn more about Carolina Caycedo's work in a talk she gave as a 2024 Getty Artist-in-Residence at the link in our bio. 
 
This project was part of pstinla. PST ART: Art & Science Collide, presented by Getty, was a region-wide arts event in Southern California. Visit pst.art to learn more.
