“El Hambre Como Maestra/Hunger as Teacher” is part of Carolina Caycedo’s ongoing project “Be Dammed” in which she collaborates with riverside populations in various bio-regions to address the socio-environmental impacts of dams. While engaged in fieldwork and research, Caycedo gathers objects, film footage, and testimonies. She also produces drawings, collages, sculptures, and films that document and expand on these experiences. These elements form the basis of an investigation into the devastating ramifications of development as understood through the stories of those affected and their resistance.
