The Amazonian space is made up of a diversity of lives, memories, knowledge and experiences, similar to the countless and fragile layers of its soil

How can we perceive the traces, the songs, the echoes of these geographies? How can we understand the borders drawn by colonization, evangelization and development? The "civilizing" order that the Ecuadorian State wishes to impose is always apparent and failed. In the overflow of the rivers, on the sides of the road, our senses give way, the vision is liberated and disputed territories emerge, struggles are upheld, languages of the future are yet to be learned.
