bosque brotante

bosque brotante documents the interactions and objects making up Daisy Quezeda Ureña’s sculptural and participatory art project about the Rio Grande, or bosque, region. As Quezeda Ureña explains, in this artist book, “Land and community learning, relating to native flora and fauna, form the basis of this project. This book records the voices of collaborators from Tewa Women United, Cochiti Pueblo, and San Agustín, Chihuahua, who were brought together to discuss ecological relationships that are interlinked in the Rio Grande ecological zone. The emotional and intellectual bonds that link these people and their regions touch on themes of rootedness, human imposed disparities, historical records and traditions, and present actions towards restoration and awareness.”
