An intercultural team from Abya Yala, West Africa, Western Europe and Asia, have been working together to promote Indigenous Cacao and denounce harmful practices around Cacao plantations in West Africa. The port of Amsterdam, the largest importer and processor of Cacao beans in the world, has an important role in the narrative around Cacao.

With the original and migration stories of cacao as the facilitator and connector, we present 3 storytelling performances / workshops with ancestral recipes of cacao, and a final two-day Fiesta to the residents of Amsterdam, in order to heal the wound perpetuated by centuries of exploitation, by honouring the traditional plants and food, remembering the wisdom of our ancestors, and celebrating LIFE together.

Besides Day of the Dead we have other events within the same context:

All the sessions will be made with Cacao directly sourced from Indigenous Peoples reclaiming their autonomy from the Sierra Nevada in Colombia, and from Zapatista land in Mexico.

The funds raised from solidarity meals directly support indigenous communities to buy back and liberate ancestral land within their territory on the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in Colombia.

In the Sierra Nevada the Arhuacans, the Kogui, the Wiwa and the Kankuama have demarcated their original land with a Black Line, they call this territory the 'Heart of the World'. In 2013 heart was also named the most important concentration of threatened biodiversity on Earth. In this Heart of the World you have all climates, from Snow mountains to Tropical Forest and the Caribbean Sea.

For these Indigenous Peoples if the Heart of the World dies, Planet Earth dies. These Indigenous Peoples want to recover and return these lands to their natural state so they can continue making offerings to Mother Earth in their Ancestral Land. This keeps the land intact and helps the Earth to keep her balance. For the Indigenous peoples from the Sierra Madre we are the Younger Siblings who don't want to listen.

We invite you to LISTEN, share, eat, drink, remember, and celebrate in solidarity!

Our team's longer-term goal is to promote the exchange between Zapatistas, the Tzotzil, Tzetzal, Chol, Zoque, Tojolabal, who have an autonomous- self-determined Indigenous Land in Mexico, and the Indigenous Peoples from Sierra Nevada, Colombia through our emergent Foundation Pluriversity.
