Atavica is a sensory journey, the portrait of a present time that evokes the past, the representation of those features of ancestral heritage that still persist in Los Choros valley, north semiarid of Chile, a territory of extraordinary biodiversity in the planet, threatened today by extractive projects such as mining and the installation of sea ports.
To look at the past from the present means to ask ourselves about other modes of relationship with our territories, economic and political forms prior to the modern state and colonialism, of which there is still much and the main thing remains: the knowledge and practice of living, of how to be an inhabitant of the land and the sea.
