Coca Orbits - Laura Huertas Millán

About this event

In this lecture performance, Colombian artist and filmmaker Laura Huertas Millán explores the layered history and significance of the coca plant, contrasting its traditional healing, ritual, and social roles in Indigenous communities with its reduction to cocaine in Western imagination. The performance creates a hybrid between live cinema, documentary, and science fiction, depicting coca as a traveling character that moves from the Andes into global systems of knowledge, control, and desire. The event discusses the geopolitical debates surrounding the coca leaf and questions who produces knowledge about it.
