How can we sing to volcanoes we cannot see? Amauta García & David Camargo’s research is guided by their familial, intergenerational, and earthly inheritance: Where did our family come from and why did we live in the neighborhood where we grew up? How can our generation afford housing in increasingly gentrified cities? Can we make impossible wishes come true? Could we return to the womb? Their works have investigated the impact of housing market bubbles and the endeavor to find tenderness in a sometimes violent world.
