Seed of Memory

This booklet is the artist collective Weaving Realities’ contribution to decolonial healing as a seed of memory. They have been gathering and reenacting ancestral recipes since 2017, using art to amplity voices of stories that are being silenced and to re-member the worlds of meanings that are being erased. They believe that the ancestral recipes can open a space for learning diverse knowledges which contribute to healing our relations to food, to land and to the lives of others. Through cooking and eating together, they attempt to build a bridge that connects them to the communities in Abya Yala, who are living in reciprocity with Earth.
这本英文小册子是艺术家小组Weaving Realities用记忆的种子对去殖民疗愈所做的贡献。他们自2017年以来，一直在收集和重现祖传食谱，利用艺术来放大那些被压抑的声音和故事，并重新唤起人们对那些正被抹去意义的世界的记忆。他们相信，祖传食谱可以为学习多样化的知识打开空间，并将有助于修复我们与食物、土地以及他人生活的关系。通过共同烹饪和进餐，他们试图建立起一座桥梁，将他们与在阿比亚亚拉（Abya Yala）与地球和谐共生的社区连接起来。
**阿比亚亚拉（来自库纳语：“Abiayala”，意为“成熟的土地”）是美洲原住民用来指代美洲大陆的新词汇。这在去殖民化的背景中，阿比亚亚拉旨在创建一种理解，即“土地和话语，territorio y palabra，不能分离”。在这种地理环境中，原住民社区每天都在为主权和抵抗而斗争。
