Ecotono: revoluciones silenciosas (Ecotone: Silent Revolutions) is an editorial and research project that compiles the reflections of the curatorial project Ecotone: Chagras, Payaos, Camellones, as part of Common Ground, the 2022–23 edition of the Fisher Center LAB at Bard College. Through diverse voices and territories, different food technologies in Colombia and their uses as alternative means of cultural and environmental conservation are explored. It is a compendium of interdisciplinary and participatory projects and actions that bring together different forms of knowledge, ranging from the visual arts, archaeology, history, architecture, activism, pedagogy, heritage management, and agriculture, all the way to conservation.
