Mi cuerpo mi territorio
It proposes a dialogue with the imaginaries of the women of the Bajo Cauca territory in the department of Antioquia, a territory that for decades is crossed by waves of violence, being a mining territory is believed to be a territory of men but also belongs to women, their stories are intertwined through a territory in dispute between armed groups, mining companies, heavy machinery and illicit crops. Mercury is a protagonist in this story, we find its traces in the bodies and the territory, mercury arrives through mining in the 70s and enters all spaces of everyday life, it gets into rivers, houses, pots and kitchens, in pregnant women and through food it reaches the territory of the uterus. With these changes in territorial dynamics we see the changes in pregnancies, care practices and what it means to be a mother.
