Around a Tree continues in Guainía, Colombia, with Around the Flor of Inírida, celebrating the region’s unique flora as a legacy of COP16. The Flor of Inírida was the official logo of the COP16 in Cali, representing the message of ‘Peace with Nature’. While this plant endemic to Guainía shows flowers that never die, this metaphor of eternal life should leave aside the threat of extinction. Biodiversity loss and climate change happen right here in Guainía, Colombia, far from the places where Conferences of Parties take place.
Even more a reason for “Around a Tree” led by Más Arte Más Acción (MAMA) to co-create this event with botanical expert Mateo Fernandez. along with partners atbc
Rapateacea, maroa flowers, southern starlets or flowers of Inírida – who are they?
This collaboration between science and art asks:
- What is their history, where, how and with whom do they live?
What adaptations do they have, what is their shape and structure?
How do they reproduce and what is their importance?
