This is a collaboration with Mexican Artist Zahara Gómez and Peruvian researcher Ana Alemán. I expand previous research on hospitality to cooking as a means of caring each other and resisting oblivion. The project started in Mexico and has expanded to Colombia and Peru. Visit the project's website here and Instagram Site here.

2023 NOS PUCP, Lima, Peru.

Here I meet with relatives of Peruvian State Agents affected by the internal armed conflict (1980-2000).We talk about unsuspected lost personal objects dwelling into people's memories that are recovered though use of Artificial Intelligence, providing a visual insight on who they are. Digital Objects are placed in a digital room that has a texture of itself showing multiple layers of memory textures.
