meridiano is a situated form of listening within the andean-amazonian maloca built by vitalia letuama yucuna in the basins of the suárez river canyon. it is composed of three hundred and sixty-five (365) fique threads, whose tones, shades, and textures vary according to their time of exposure to sunlight, drying, and the hardening produced by the wind. its materiality is also inscribed by the plant’s hydric flows, regulated by lunar cycles, making sensible a series of ecological processes that traverse the fiber.
meridiano organizes these material characteristics according to the 2026 solar calendar situated in barichara: a cycle unfolding between two solstices, two zenith passages, and two equinoxes. this temporal composition is accompanied by a process of collective sowing, which consisted of weaving the lower part of the work on a stone from juntas: the place where the suárez river and the chicamocha river meet. this gesture brings the fiber together with a fluvial memory of the territory, re-membering a fishing community and exceeding the imagination of these canyons as desert —and therefore empty— territories.
from this orientation, meridiano reterritorializes a possible ecopoetic configuration in which agencies such as light, wind, water, stone, collective gesture, and vegetal time take part. these ecological memories of the fiber are amplified through a system of contact microphones and resonators, seeking to activate a vibratile dimension of the material processes inscribed in each thread.
the work was activated through a listening session during the spring equinox, in march 2026, and will be reactivated during the autumn equinox, in september 2026.
