The (displaced) forest's spirit

"After spending a week listening to the Bosque seco - dry forest - in Piura in the north of Perú and learning so much more about it, I felt like that beautiful and resilient forest - that thrives in the harshest conditions and still finds a way to save water and energy to go through the driest weather - and people who are being forced in many ways to migrate from their lands because of colonisation, have a lot in common. The main thing they have in common is their strong roots. 

"This piece combines the sounds of the Bosque Seco during the Region Solar Lab residency in Piura, Peru; with many truths being said in that demonstration in Bordeaux."
