MAKING KIN

Making Kin: the vanishing of the Gran Chaco Forest is a world created by a collage of different texts. Merging the narrative of the deforestation happening nowadays in the Gran Chaco and the speculative narrative from ‘The Camille Stories: Children of Compost’ allows making room for different reflections and solutions for the present. We speculate to talk about us in the present. Due to the deforestation of the Chaco, the character’s journey through space and time, starting from the disappearance of the landscape and traveling to a speculative future where species are interconnected and mixed, envisioning an interspecies world. 

This far future seeks to ask and answer the fundamental question: how do we want to live together starting from now with what we have already done?  

The experience speculates a world where collaboration for the common good becomes essential. This future envisions us staying with the damaged land, acknowledging the harm we've caused but refusing to forget our responsibilities and embracing for actions. By embracing the concepts of making kin and sympoiesis, we can foster a consciousness centered around collaboration and with effort, to coexist, repair, and thrive together, creating a future where we make kin and build a world with care and cooperation at its core through different disciplines, knowledges, languages.
