Offering to the Earth

In July the Earth is thirsty. It needs feeding. Offering to the Earth is a ritual of Andean origin based on reciprocity. The gods are thanked for the produce received and presented with an offering to satisfy their hunger and thirst.

Invited by Marc Caellas, conservationist and activist for Amazonia, Magdalena Ruiz, will conduct a ritual of gratitude. This event—the second in the series A Hatch in the Void, conceived by Caellas as part of the exhibition Antoni Tàpies: The Imagination of the World—aims to question and broaden the traditional reading of the exhibition by creating spaces where the works are counterposed with contemporary thought and opened up to a range of interpretations.
