Honored to share that my work is featured in @sciencemagazine November 2025 issue 🧬🧪 It has been a while since I’ve had a photo published in print, especially in this social-media age where everything lives on small screens and online.

These photos were taken during our first shoot of @kukasaruy , my first personal longer feature documentary project that is very close to my heart 🍃 It portrays a story of remembrance and the safekeeping of tradition, featuring the Q’ero Nation and Don Fortunato—one of the last guardians of the #KukaSaruy legacy, which includes organic cultivation and the ritual harvesting of the coca leaf. Blessings to this community, its people, its ways and their opening as well.

We are currently raising funds to complete the filming of this documentary in March and move into post-production. Any support is deeply appreciated—even just reading and sharing our crowdfunding campaign helps 🔗 (link in bio)

🙏 A big thanks to @cocabotanist for bringing me on board for this collaboration alongside other important voices in the fight for Indigenous rights relating to the coca leaf, such as @wadedavisofficial @davrestrepo @claudeguislain @khokaproject @latinorchidbot , Imika Tarirú, and many other brilliant minds I had the chance to meet during the @mckenna.academy Wisdom of the Leaf Coca Summit earlier this year. Thanks also to @lizzybphotography928 ScienceMag’s Photo Editor

🙏 Last but not least, thank you @larajacoski. Without connecting with her during @aniwa.co, and sharing this purpose of being instruments for Indigenous voices to be expressed, none of this would have happened. I highly recommend checking out her main documentary work, now finally available online after touring the world: @eskawatafilm.

Dentro de mi pasión y rubro que es el trabajo audiovisual y la fotografía, he estado explorando la pasión de contar historias de los cerros, las selvas, los ríos, desiertos y las lagunas. Historias que hablan a través de su gente, a través de sus elementos. Historias que poco son escuchadas abiertamente, que toca ir allá, sentarse con los mayores y pasar noches largas sentado frente a un fuego para poder tener una pequeña idea de lo grande que tratan expresar o comunicarnos a nosotros que estamos en las ciudades en desconexión del diálogo con el territorio.

Como primer logro palpable de este esfuerzo, @festivalemerger seleccionó mi primer cortometraje documental sobre este tipo de narraciones para su categoría “Relatos del Agua”, que sin la invitación de @redyumalibre no hubiese sido posible.

Escuchar más allá de la importancia del agua como vitalidad para el cueroo expandir la consciencia a entender su vitalidad para el espíritu dentro de lo intangible ha sido un bello regalo también.

Gracias Taita Milo, Taita Fredy @fredychikangana y Taita Arnois por compartir consciencia nosotros desde Papallaqta en el Macizo Colombiano esta sabiduría como alimento.

Este logro solo abre la esperanza y alimenta la inspiración para poder de la mano de los abuelos, hacer su voz y conocimiento valer. Sólo ser canal, puente, herramienta para que se puedan expresar y puedan ser escuchados.

Los vientos ya llaman a Cochamarka, para visitar y escuchar la historia de los Q’eros que tienen para contarnos sobre el olvidado “Labray K’intu” la sagrada hojita de coca que es un elemento clave para su vida. Nos recordarán de la importancia de peregrinar, de intercambiar y de estar en Ayni, reciprocidad.

Nos acercamos al rodaje del documental y necesitamos tu apoyo. Link para apoyar en el bio!

Vistas de cóndor desde las alturas de Paucartambo a unos aproximados 5000 msnm, una de las locaciones de rodaje del documental, donde registramos las vivencias de la Comunidad Qero entre sus Apus y Lagunas encantadas.

Pronto regresaremos y volaremos entre su aire frío y tierra mojada.

Apoya la posibilidad de concretar este proyecto a través del link en nuestra bio.

Todavía necesitamos apoyo para que juntos lo hagamos posible, recordar que el objetivo es resguardar una memoria que se está perdiendo entre abuelos, el cuido y buen uso de la hoja de coca, un legado para futuras generaciones. GoFundMe link en nuestro bio, entre todos lo podemos lograr.

Taita José Apaza, saludando a los Apus y pidiendo permiso para hacer los trabajos que corresponden dentro de su comunidad Q’ero en Paukartambo.

Nos acercamos a una segunda visita a la comunidad Q’ero en Marzo para terminar el rodaje del documental en proceso de Kuka Saruy.
