Cocuyo Project
Ana Tomimori and Carlos Felipe Guzmán from Proyecto Cocuyo moved to a rural area in Cundinamarca, Colombia, seven years ago, settling in a family home that once belonged to Carlos's grandparents. The house, built in the early 20th century, holds the history of Colombia—the abandoned mill, royal road, highway, train track ruins, coffee, and mountain, all contributing to its wild, inaccessible character.
We invite you to the book launch of the cocuyobook, a project by Ana and Carlos developed during their residency at the Jan van Eyck Academie. It compiles texts, images and memories of the Cocuyo Project, an initiative that worked to restore a traditional agroforestry coffee farm located in a colombian mist forest.
While living and managing the Cocuyo Art Residency, both artists became farmers, cultural managers and part of the local community of a small town in the eastern Andes mountain range. This event looks for hidden histories behind the coffee supply chain while presenting the differences between coffees, their taste, flavour and production methods.
