Origen

Origen is a narrative, interactive, and poetic journey through the Amazon Rainforest. In our voyage, first-person interactions weave the tapestry of encounters and teachings endowed with transcendence. During the journey, we are guided by a mythological boa through memories, teachings and stories of Shipibo origins. As the journey unfolds, it unveils the changes that the territory has undergone and the environmental consequences endured by these lands. Inspired by Mokán Rono’s reflections, the journey revolves around the connection between how we perceive our own lives and how we coexist with nature.
Journey to the Heart of the Amazon is the first chapter of a VR series co-created with its narrators, uniting different territories and celebrating the dialogue held between the great diversity of life forms and Mother Earth. Origen has been recognized as of Cultural Interest by the Argentine Embassy in Colombia, has been awarded the Unity for Humanity Environment and Sustainability Grant. and has participated in the Biennale College of La Biennale di Venezia.

Journey to the Heart of the Amazon is the first chapter of the three-part VR series that unites the Amazon, Andes, and Puná.
It has been an honor to co-create this inaugural chapter alongside Mokán Rono, presenting the stories guarded by Sankén Kawé. This immersive piece has come to life through the collaborative efforts of an interdisciplinary team of artists from Colombia, Argentina, Peru, Ecuador, and Brazil.
Through poetic exploration, Origen delves into the dialogue between our bodies and nature, weaving a tapestry of memories, tales, reflections, and questions about our relationship with nature.
With great affection, I hope that this first chapter of Origen engages in dialogue with diverse territories of the world.
