Conversation with artists Ingrid Pumayalla (UK/PE) / Cristina Flora Pescorán (PE) on the Amazonian huayruro seed
Pumayalla and Pescorán’s work is linked through the use of thread. Their practice(s) seek to repair and transform illness, loss, and pain through the weaving traditions of the Peruvian ancients. Their research focuses on the relationships between nature and the body in creating sustainable new threads of thought and a collective engagement of resistance to capitalism. The common thread for this project has been the huayruro seed, native to the Amazon whose cultural symbolism is related to the act of protection.
