¿Kay quritachu mikhunki?/ ¿Es este el oro que comes? 2021
(Is this the gold you eat)
Installation of copper wire, pyrite, high relief embroidery, tubers and native potatoes of different varieties.
The work is based on the gesture of Peruvian peasant, weaver and activist Máxima Acuña to sing a song upon receiving the Goldman Environmental Prize in 2016. In it she recounts the abuses committed by the Newmont Mining Company in retaliation for demanding the right to remain on her land and defend the water sources of her region, preventing the development of what would be the most productive open-pit gold mine in Latin America.
