Coca Orbits - Laura Huertas Millán

About this event

In this lecture performance, Colombian artist Laura Huertas Millán explores the layered history of the coca plant, contrasting its traditional significance for Indigenous communities in the Andes with its association with cocaine and global drug policies. The performance combines live cinema, documentary, and science fiction elements, portraying coca as a traveling character that moves from the Andes into worldwide systems of knowledge, control, and desire. The event prompts reflection on who produces knowledge and the geopolitical implications surrounding the coca leaf, especially amid ongoing debates at the United Nations.
