Line of Inquiry:
His work, Artist Manifesto, Point 4 of the Peace Agreements, presents a biography of the artist in which he speaks about how his personal experience has been central to his artistic production, written in the Nasa language as part of his lineage. Using mambe (coca powder mixed with Yarumo ash), Quiñones constructs an ephemeral narrative that highlights the oral nature of Indigenous language and underscores the need to rethink the use of the coca plant in the substitution of illicit crops and the transition to peace.
