Artistic Research Collective
We seek to subvert the narratives that have enabled the desiccation of the Central Mexican basin, from our own relations and experiences within this territory. We propose a practice that understands the hydrological region of Lake Texcoco as a space where the heterogeneity of life can be preserved. We also understand research as a practice that cares, becomes involved and experiments with that which is known.
We are Brenda Anayatzin Ortiz, Ekatherina Sicardo, Al Dabi Olvera, Diego Rodríguez Landeros, Juan Pablo Murillo and Adriana Salazar.
Biocultural Recipe Book of Lake Texcoco
In the manner of our mothers’ and grandmothers’ cookbooks, which collected their recipes in a pile of cards, the Biocultural Cookbook of Lake Texcoco seeks to offer a multiplicity of reading experiences. A constellation of food, plants, animals, rocks, water bodies, soil, and peoples of the Lake Texcoco basin coexist as interconnected elements.
We believe that protecting, eating, inviting, reading, and knowing are one are one and the same.
