This anarchist flag is made from Huayruro seeds, a native plant of South and Central American tropical areas. In some cases, the Huayruro seeds are used in the preparation of psychotropic plants such as Ayahuasca (Tohé). These plants occupy a central place in Amazon biopolitics. Anarquismo Mágico – Magical Anarchism – is a speculation about what might have happened during the encounter between an anarchist – a former fighter of the Durruti Column, expatriated in the Bolivian Jungle – and a native, semi-nomad community of the Amazon. It questions what could have arisen from the alliance between a hands-on libetarian philosophy and the concepts developed in Amerindian cosmology. Anarquismo Mágico is not narration of such an encounter but the field created by the collision of those differences, a centrifugal force.
Rometti Costales is an artistic collaboration between Julia Rometti and Victor Costales that began in 2007. Their research has led them to South America, and particularly Brazil and Ecuador, where Costales has also lived. During their research trips, the artist duo develop a form of attention to the environment, traditions, and micro-histories of the places they visit. Their work is based on their personal readings of environmental and cultural situations and an understanding of philosophical and anthropological debates on the relationship between nature and culture.
