Join Colombian-born, American photographer Alexandra McNichols-Torroledo for a discussion about her exhibition, ESX/COCA. Torroledo has dedicated the last decade to focusing on Indigenous communities in North and South America that protect sacred plants, water, and the rainforest. The exhibition, titled ESX/COCA showcases powerful images taken at the Wasak Kwewesx School in the Nasa Indigenous reservation of Toribio, Cauca, Colombia. 

McNichols-Torroledo aims to deconstruct colonial and postcolonial visual narratives surrounding the coca plant through her work with the Indigenous people of the Andes.  

Following the lecture, there will be a question-and-answer session for guests to ask about her artistic process and work.
