The Mapuche visual artist will present her performance "Fluir como cascadas" [To Flow Like Waterfalls] at HKW Berlin next Wednesday, November 8th at 12pm, as part of the program "A Participatory Planet" and its first phase "Unearthing". This series seek to engage the earth as a foundational agent invested in the lives of all beings.

Integrating the worldview of her people, the artist Seba Calfuqueo offers flowing like waterfalls as a performative narration of the story of Copihue and Llancalahuen. The two plants that stand for incarnations of Mapuche bodies killed by colonizers, now grow intertwined with one another near humid areas of the native forest. The artist refers to them as an embodiment of Mapuche resistance in her piece.

The ensuing conversation puts Seba Calfuqueo in discussion with philosopher and lawyer Teresa Vicente Giménez, environmental historian Jessica J. Lee, and journalist and activist Peter Emorinken-Donatus.
